en An Overview on Role of Fungi In the Bioremediation of Some Pollutants قارچ شناسی Mycology پژوهشي Research <div style="text-align: justify;">Increasing environmental pollution is one of today’s problems, posing a major threat to ecological balance. Increasing human activities such as urbanization, industrialization, technological development, and agricultural methods have significantly contributed to this imbalance. Hence, the development of suitable sustainable treatment methods is one of the global concerns for the eradication of pollutants from polluted environments. One of the proposed methods for this purpose is the use of fungi. So, this review will discuss the role of fungi in the bioremediation of some pollutants. Keywords such as “bioremediation”, fungi”, “plastic degradation”, "mineral degradation", "pesticides", "pharmaceutical active compounds", "heavy metal", and "wastewater" were searched. Articles published in databases, such as Google Scholar, PubMed/ MEDLINE, and other scientific databases, were used. The results of this study showed that fungi can play a role in the bioremediation of plastic, mineral, pesticides, pharmaceutical active compounds, heavy metals, and wastewater.  </div> Bioremediation, Fungi, Metal, Minral, Pollutants 0 0 http://ijml.ssu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-422-10&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Naser Nasiri ناصر نصیری No Department of Public Health, School of Public Health, Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Jiroft, Iran Mehdi Taheri Sarvtin مهدی طاهری سروتین mehditaheri.mt@gmail.com Yes Department of Medical Mycology and Parasitology, School of Medicine, Jiroft University of Medical Sciences, Jiroft, Iran گروه گروه قارچ شناسی و انگل شناسی، دانشکده پزشکی، دانشگاه علوم پزشکی جیرفت، جیرفت، ایران
