Abstract
The article presents an overview of literary sources on the use of fungi that cause white rot for removal of organic pollutants from water, wastewater and wastewater sludge. The study characterizes enzymes produced by these fungi, and the methods and conditions for their culture. The article includes some examples of the use of fungi for treatment of wastewater from paper, textile, alcohol and food production, among others, and for biodegradation of dyes, hydrocarbons, phenols, chlorophenols, nitrotoluen and pesticides. It discusses some technological parameters of devices used for elimination of pollutants from wastewater with the use of white-rot fungi. The article highlights the need to extend research work from lab scale to semi-technical scale.
