Filamentous Fungi Isolates of Contaminated Sediment in the Amazon Region with the Potential for Benzopyrene Degradation

Filamentous fungi were isolated from contaminated sediment samples in the Amazon region of Brazil to select species with potential for benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) degradation, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) with high molecular weight and known for its mutagenic and carcinogenic properties. The iso...
