Mycoremediation: Harnessing the Power of Fungi for Environmental Cleanup Introduction The world faces a growing environmental crisis, with pollution, contamination, and degradation threatening ecosystems and human health. As we search for sustainable solutions, a fascinating and powerful ally emerges: fungi. Mycoremediation, the use of fungi to remediate environmental pollutants, is gaining significant attention as a … Read more
Microorganisms Microscopic organisms, commonly known as microorganisms or microbes, are found all around us and even inside our bodies. The category ‘Microbes’ includes a massive range of organisms including bacteria, Fungi, viruses, algae, archaea and protozoa. Some of these, such as bacteria and fungi, are well known, but others such as archaea much less so. … Read more

Disease and decay are not inherent properties of organic objects, nor are they caused by physical damage, it is Microorganisms that bring about these changes. We are surrounded by bacteria, virus, and Fungi. Many cause diseases in cattle and crops and others are known for entering human bodies and causing various diseases. Examples of familiar … Read more

Fungi fungi, any of about 99,000 known species of organisms of the kingdom Fungi, which includes the yeasts, rusts, smuts, mildews, molds, and mushrooms. There are also many funguslike organisms, including slime molds and oomycetes (water molds), that do not belong to kingdom Fungi but are often called fungi. Many of these funguslike organisms are … Read more
Biological Weathering is the breakdown of rocks and minerals by living organisms. It is a type of Physical Weathering, which means that it does not involve any chemical changes. Biological weathering can be caused by a variety of organisms, including plants, animals, and bacteria. Plants can break down rocks by growing through them, while animals … Read more

Mycoremediation is a process that uses fungi to clean up environmental contamination. Fungi are naturally occurring organisms that have the ability to break down and absorb pollutants, making them ideal for use in environmental remediation. Mycoremediation can be used to treat a variety of contaminants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and petroleum hydrocarbons. Fungi can also … Read more
