Geomycology: biogeochemical transformations of rocks, minerals, metals and radionuclides by fungi, bioweathering and bioremediation. (2007, unknown): “Ligninolytic fungi metabolize PAHs via reactions involving reactive oxygen species to phenols and quinones (Pickard et al. 1999; Steffen et al. 2003), and these may be further degraded by ring-fission enzymes (Cerniglia & Sutherland 2006).”
Screening filamentous fungi isolated from estuarine sediments for the ability to oxidize polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (2003, background): “Microorganisms, including fungi, can transform PAHs leading to their detoxification or complete mineralization (Cerniglia 1992; Cerniglia & Sutherland 2001).”
Biological Remediation of Hydrocarbon and Heavy Metals Contaminated Soil (2011, background): “Hydrocarbon contamination of the air, soil, freshwater (surface water and groundwater) especially by PAHs has drawn public concerns because many PAHs are toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic (Bumpus 1989; Clemente et al. 2001; Cerniglia and Sutherland 2001).”
