Utilizing white rot fungi for effective environmental pollution management

Alsudani, Ali A (2025) Utilizing white rot fungi for effective environmental pollution management. Open Access Research Journal of Science and Technology, 13 (2). pp. 116-121. ISSN 2782-9960

The physiology, biochemistry, molecular biology, and ecology of white rot fungi must be understood to effectively manage environmental contamination, large companies produce pollutants that end up in the soil and water, which have negative effects on the environment and the economy. It is crucial to develop safe technology for the removal of contaminants. Some ligninolytic enzymes that efficiently degrade macromolecular pollutants and xenobiotics have been studied at the protein and DNA levels in the white rot fungus. Some enzymes linked to biodegradation appear to have both bacterial and fungal heritage, according to research. This review discusses the advantages and disadvantages of using white rot fungi to clean up contaminated substrates and emphasizes their potential in biodegradation research.
