Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are chemical compounds whose saturation vapor
pressures are greater than 102 kPa at 25° C. Both plants and microorganisms produce …

The current scenario of increased population and industrial advancement leads to the
spoliation of freshwater and tapper of the quality of water. These results decrease in …

Research on freshwater fungi has concentrated on their role in plant litter decomposition in
streams. Higher fungi dominate over bacteria in terms of biomass, production and enzymatic …

In this paper we present a review of the existing air pollution control technologies (APCT),
when used essentially for the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The …

Bioprocesses have been developed as relatively recent alternatives to conventional, non‐
biological technologies, for waste gas treatment and air pollution control in general. This …

The biodegradation of aromatic hydrocarbons by fungi has traditionally been considered to
be of a cometabolic nature. Recently, however, an increasing number of fungi isolated from …

Gas-phase biofilters used for the treatment of waste gases were originally packed with
compost or other natural filter beds containing indigenous microorganisms. Over the past …

The present chapter reviews and discusses recent advances in the ecophysiology,
phylogeny, and biotechnological applications of fungi with respect to their ability to degrade …

Bacteria and fungi are often utilized for the biodegradation of organic pollutants. This study
compared fungal and/or bacterial biofiltration in treating toluene under both steady and …

We characterized 32 cold-adapted, psychrophilic and cold-tolerant, yeast strains isolated
from alpine habitats with regard to their taxonomy, growth temperature profile, and ability to …
