White rot fungus bioremediation: Mother Nature`s Pollution Solution{reg_sign}
- Intech One-Eighty Corp., North Logan, UT (United States)
The white rot fungi (WRF) bioremediation system developed by Intech One-Eight Corp. (INTECH), which has evolved from both the decade of basic research work cited here and additional applied research efforts, may be easily and sharply differentiated from conventional bioremediation processes relying on the enzymatic activities of bacteria. The technology is an on-site, ex situ bioremediation process employing selected strains of WRF to degrade a wide spectrum of environmentally persistent organic compounds which may contaminate soils, sludges and sediments. Successful demonstrations of cost-effective soil decontamination using WRF technology, ranging in size up to 10,000 tons, have now been performed by licensed affiliates. The use of any WRF organisms or their enzymes for the bioremediation of most organic compounds is covered worldwide by issued and pending patents.
