Abstract

White rot fungi (WRF) play an important role in the global carbon cycle, and are most effective in lignin degradation, while growing on woody substrates. Their unique extracellular nonspecific ligninolytic system, as well as intracellular oxidizing enzymes, enable WRF to metabolize and degrade a wide variety of aromatic toxic pollutants, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, azo-dyes, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals. Numerous studies provide data on the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, toxicology genetics, and genomics of the degradation mechanisms of these compounds by WRF. This knowledge will lead to practical mycoremediation processes of polluted environments.
