Commercial mushrooms are cultivated on lignocellulose wastes, such as corncob, saw dust,
straw and wood chips. Following the rapidly increasing global mushroom production, the …

Extraction and exploration of petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) to satisfy the rising world
population's fossil fuel demand is playing havoc with human beings and other life forms by …

Soil acidification impairs plant growth and agricultural sustainability, whereas organic
fertilizers can ameliorate soil quality. Nonetheless, the response of microbial populations to …

Biodegradation of soil contaminants may be promoted near plant roots due to the
“rhizosphere effect” which may enhance microbial growth and activity. However, the effects …

The expansion of the edible fungi industry has resulted in the production of large amounts of
edible fungus residues, causing great pressure on environmental protection. Therefore …

This study aimed to investigate the potential of three bioamendments (rice husk biochar,
wheat straw biochar, and spent mushroom compost) to enhance microbial degradation of …

The chapter reviews the most important researches on the use of micro-and macrofungi in
the bioremediation of contaminated soils. In particular, the main classes of soil pollutants in …

Although desert plants often establish multiple simultaneous symbiotic associations with
various endophytic fungi in their roots, most studies focus on single fungus inoculation …

The large-scale application of synthetic compounds in industrial and agricultural sectors has
contaminated the natural environment that further led to exacerbating the pollution-related …

Aims Soil fungal communities play pivotal roles in promoting ecosystem carbon (C) and
nitrogen (N) cycling, stimulating disease resistance and enhancing tolerance against salt …
