Fungal Bioremediation

Fungal bioremediation uses fungi to clean up environmental pollutants. Fungi naturally break down organic waste and harmful chemicals through their enzymes. When introduced into contaminated soil or water, certain fungi can digest pollutants like petroleum, pesticides, and heavy metals, transforming them into less toxic substances or removing them entirely. This approach is eco-friendly, sustainable, and often cost-effective, making it a promising method for restoring polluted environments without the need for extensive physical cleanup. Essentially, fungi act as natural detoxifiers, helping to restore environmental health naturally.
