Fungi for the bioremediation of pharmaceutical-derived pollutants: A bioengineering approach to water treatment
The excessive amount of pharmaceutical compounds (PhCs) released into aquatic environments poses a risk to humans, wildlife, and environmental health. It is a serious problem that requires urgent attention. In this work, we review various PhCs detected in water treatment plants. We propose that fung...
