Bioremediation of Fungicide-contaminated Environment

Original language description

Fungicides are compounds of chemical (organic and inorganic compounds) or biological (i.e., microorganisms, plant root exudates, microbial enzymes) origins that can prevent, inhibit or control fungal pathogens or their spores and are used against harmful fungi causing severe plant diseases, which are responsible for pronounced losses of crop yields. However, there is resistance to many used fungicides, which farmers try to overcome either by a combination of synthetic fungicides and/or by their overdose. However, this overuse, even abuse of fungicides, leads to their accumulation in the soil, where many of these bioactive compounds can persist, be absorbed by the plants or via agricultural field runoff can enter water bodies and endanger non-target organisms in environmental matrices. Moreover, numerous fungicides due to their endocrine-disrupting and/or carcinogenic activity are even toxic to humans. This chapter presents an up-to-date overview of bioremediation of soils and water bodies contaminated with most used synthetic fungicides via microbial remediation, detoxification of fungicides by laccases, bioremediation of fungicide-contaminated aqueous environment using various types of algae and removal of synthetic organic and inorganic fungicides from the environment using macrophytes and terrestrial plants. The mechanisms of degradation and degradation products of important fungicides, beneficial effects of bioaugmentation using microbial strains able effectively degrade fungicides and fungicide-degrading microbial strains immobilized on biochar as well as application of chelate-forming agents on bioremediation processes are briefly described.
