Abstract

Pollutants causing environmental pollution
have gained a rapid increase with the industry developing parallel to the
increasing population. These pollutants both disrupt the balance of nature and
affect the health of the living beings in the negative. At the present time,
bioremediation has gained an important place in the studies related to the
elimination of these pollutants. Bioremediation is an affordable and
environmentally friendly method for converting pollutants into
non-environmentally harmful products using various microorganisms. In
particular, among these microorganisms, the fungi used in the bioremediation
have attracted considerable attention because they decompose the pollutants
into harmless products by their properties such as secreted enzymes and / or mycelia
structures. In this review, it is aimed to bring together the different aspects
of bioremediation and fungi that define different and new metabolic capacities
and their role in bioremediation potential on a common platform.

Biyoremediasyon ve Fungusların Biyoremediasyonda Kullanılması

Abstract

Çevre kirliliğine neden olan kirleticiler, artan nüfusun paralelinde
gelişen sanayi ile birlikte hızlı bir artış kazanmıştır. Bu kirleticiler hem
doğanın dengesini bozmakta hem de canlıların sağlığını olumsuz yönde
etkilemektedir. Günümüzde bu kirleticilerin giderilmesi ilgili yapılan
çalışmalarda biyoremediasyon önemli bir yer kazanmıştır. Biyoremediasyon, bu
kirleticiler üzerinde çeşitli mikroorganizmaları kullanarak çevreye zararlı
olmayan ürünlere dönüştürmek için uygun maliyetli ve çevre dostu bir yöntem
olmaktadır. Özellikle de bu mikroorganizmalar arasında biyoremediasyonda
kullanılan funguslar, salgıladıkları enzimler ve/veya miselli yapıları gibi
özellikleri ile kirleticileri ayrıştırarak zararsız ürünlere
dönüştürdüklerinden dolayı oldukça dikkat çekmiştir. Bu derlemede, biyoremediasyon ve fungusların farklı ve yeni metabolik kapasitelerini tanımlayan farklı
yönleri ile biyoremediasyon potansiyelindeki rolünün ortak bir platformda bir
araya getirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
