Bioremediation is the most effective management tool to manage the polluted environment and recover contamination. The process of bioremediation uses various agents such as bacteria, fungi, algae and highier plants as major tools in treating heavy metals present in the environment. Bioremediation both in situ and ex situ have also enjoyed strong scientific growth in parts due to the increase of natural attenuation, since most natural attenuation is due to biodegradation. Numerous works have been devoted in literature to biodegradation with the use of fungi. Therefore, in other to have clean and less expensive technologies to restore contaminated marine environment, bioremediation is one of the preferred approaches, because it is simple to maintain, eco-friendly, cost effective and may lead to complete or partial removal of pollutants. The aim of this research study i.. View More»
