Fungi Are Capable of Mycoremediation of River Water Contaminated by E. coli
Wastewater pollution results in detrimental effects on ecosystems and poses human health hazards. As the human population and urbanization rates increase, so do abiotic and biotic contaminants such…
Implementing Fungal Cultivation in Biofiltration Systems – The Past , Present , and Future of Mycofiltration
The intentional use of the vegetative growth of mushroom-forming fungi on wood mulch substrates as a biologically active filtration media, a process known as mycofiltration, is a promising new…
The Mycoremediation of Escherichia coli by Pleurotus ostreatus, Stropharia rugosoannulata, and Trametes versicolor in Contaminated Water
TLDR
The results of this experiment suggest that T. versicolor can remediate E. coli-contaminated water more efficiently than P. ostreatus and S. rugosoannulata.
High-efficiency methane capture by living fungi and dried fungal hyphae (necromass).
TLDR
Results demonstrate the potential for G. lucidum, commonly used in biomaterial production, in a variety of indoor and outdoor biofiltration scenarios and implies an overlooked, potentially large role for fungi and their soil necromass in capturing and reducing CH4 emissions from soils in nature.
Examining mycofiltration efficacy in a first order stream
Bacterial contamination from sanitary and combined sewer overflows, leaking sewer infrastructure, and stormwater runoff decreases urban surface water quality. This research investigates a…
Engineering Analysis of Plant and Fungal Contributions to Bioretention Performance
While the use of bioretention for stormwater management is widespread, data about the impacts of plants and microorganisms on long-term treatment efficacy remain region-specific. To help address this…
Myco-Remediation of Xenobiotic Organic Compounds for a Sustainable Environment: A Critical Review
TLDR
The utilization of fungi for the degradation of xenobiotic organic compounds (XOCs) from different wastewater and aqueous solutions has been reviewed and it is evident from the literature survey of 80 recently published papers that myco-enzymes have demonstrated outstanding XOC removal capabilities.
Effectiveness of mycofiltration for removal of contaminants from water: a systematic review protocol
TLDR
The systematic review chartered in this protocol will compile and synthesise literature on mycofiltration studies, paying special attention to the types and levels of contaminants removed, to provide insight into the removal efficiency of my cofiltration.
Antibacterial activity of three wild wood-decaying fungi in southern Vietnam toward Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacterium in aquaculture wastewater
TLDR
The obtained results showed very good application potential of myco-remediation technique using WDF in the treatment of V. parahaemolyticus in aquaculture farming, and mycofilter can be used as a new approach for controlling Aquaculture disease, specifically Vibrio sp.
Environmental injustice and Escherichia coli in urban streams: Potential for community‐led response
Escherichia coli are fecal indicator bacteria that reach waterbodies through aging and failing infrastructure in cities. Exposure to pathogens in untreated sewage can result in gastrointestinal…

Degradation of Harmful Bacteria in Simulated Wastewater by the White Rot Fungus Pleurotus Ostreatus
TLDR
The white rot fungus Pleurotus ostreatus was analyzed as a potential biocontrol agent used to reduce the amount of coliform bacteria in simulated wastewater and storm water runoff and suggests that nutrient concentrations may play a significant role in the level of predation observed.
Pathogen removal from urban pond outflow using rock biofilters
Fecal coliform removal in a lightly loaded surface-flow constructed treatment wetland polishing agricultural runoff.
TLDR
Sedimentation basins alone are more effective than a combined sedimentation basin-wetland system in removing FC from dilute agricultural runoff in a lightly loaded surface-flow treatment wetland prior to discharge to the Yakima River, Washington State, USA.
False-positive identification of Escherichia coli in treated municipal wastewater and wastewater-irrigated soils.
TLDR
Assessment of false-positive identification of E. coli in treated wastewater samples collected from municipal utilities, an irrigation holding pond, irrigated soils, and in samples collecting from storm flows destined for groundwater recharge suggested that seasonal variations in water quality influence E. bacteria identification.
The fate of stormwater‐associated bacteria in constructed wetland and water pollution control pond systems
TLDR
Sediment microcosm survival studies showed that the persistence of thermotolerant coliforms was greater in the pond sediments than in the wetland sediments, and that predation was a major factor influencing bacterial survival.
A comparison of ten USEPA approved total coliform/E. coli tests.
TLDR
Analysis of the data indicated that wide variability exists among USEPA approved tests to detect and quantify total coliforms, as well as suppress Aeromonas spp.
Impact of Storm-Water Runoff on Clogging and Fecal Bacteria Reduction in Sand Columns
Storm-water runoff has been identified as a major cause of coastal water quality degradation. Storm-water outfalls, common in many coastal towns, convey bacteria and other pollutants into the ocean…
Waterborne pathogens in urban watersheds.
TLDR
The evaluation of pathogen indicators and summary of epidemiological studies presented are resources for those developing TMDLs to achieve water quality standards and restore water bodies to their intended uses.
Comparison and Recovery of Escherichia coli and Thermotolerant Coliforms in Water with a Chromogenic Medium Incubated at 41 and 44.5°C
TLDR
The results of this study showed that CECCP agar incubated at 41°C is efficient for the simultaneous enumeration of E. coli and KEC from river and marine waters.
