Aplicación de hongos ligninolíticos para la biorremediación de aguas contaminadas con colorantes

Abstract

Due to the impact produced by human activities, different methodologies have been developed to mitigate and counteract the possible adverse effects on the environment. It occurs the same way for soil, air and water bioremediation. This article seeks to call attention to the importance of addressing water pollution with dyes. Due to the above, a bibliographic review of the bioremediation methods used for treating dye contaminated water through the use of ligninolytic fungi was elaborated, while highlighting the most used species, as well as their mechanisms of action through the different enzymes involved. Likewise, the article highlights the need to reform environmental legislation, which should function as a tool to mitigate the ecological impact caused by the high concentration of colorants in industrial effluents.
