摘要

Mycoremediation, the process of using fungi to degrade or remove environmental contaminants, has emerged as a promising, sustainable solution for large-scale pollution challenges. This abstract summarizes the current state and future potential of mycoremediation in large-scale applications, highlighting its efficacy, scalability, and environmental benefits. Mycoremediation utilizes the natural metabolic pathways of various fungal species to break down complex pollutants, including hydrocarbons, pesticides, heavy metals, and industrial wastes. Large-scale deployment strategies, such as mycofiltration, mycoaugmentation, and the integration of fungi into bioremediation frameworks, have demonstrated significant pollutant reductions in contaminated soils, water bodies, and industrial sites. This review also addresses the challenges faced in scaling up, such as environmental variables, fungal strain selection, and regulatory considerations. Advances in biotechnology, including genetic engineering and optimized cultivation methods, are expanding the capabilities and efficiency of fungal remediation. The abstract concludes by emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary research, policy support, and public engagement to realize the full potential of mycoremediation as a key tool in large-scale environmental restoration and pollution management.
