Preface
The increased awareness concerning to environmental protection have prompted the
development of eco-friendly technologies. This book provides a wide battery of versatile
and innovative techniques for environmental clean-up of organic and inorganic pollutants
generated from different anthropogenic activities. These technologies are based upon
the use of diverse biological agents, including bacteria, yeast, fungi, algae, and plants or
products derived from them for designing strategies for environmental remediation of
pollutants such as agrochemicals, heavy metals and industrial wastes. Varied and efficient
strategies used in bioremediation processes such as biosorption, immobilization of both
biomass and metabolites, use of surfactants, biobeds technology, combined biological
systems (microorganism-plant), and use of mixed microbial cultures are described.
The spectrum of strategies involved, and in large extent the successful combination of
them, improves the removal of pollutants from diverse nature generated from anthropogenic
activities with minimal environmental impact. This approach will be interesting for
professionals involved with environmental technology and waste management.

Introduction
Industrial activity has always resulted in some class of contamination, either solid waste,
wastewater or gaseous pollution. The agro-industrial wastes consist of many and varied
residues from agriculture and food industry and are worldwide produced at an estimated
rate of thousand million tons per year. Although several agro-industrial residues can be
disposed of safely in the environment due to its biodegradable nature, the vast quantities in
which they are generated makes it necessary to look for disposition mechanisms involving
the production of goods or services. Biotechnology offers many feasible alternatives to the
disposal of agro-industrial wastes, allowing seeing the problems of waste disposal under
a new light, as a source of valuable resources for the production of fuels, feeds, medical,
pharmaceutical and industrial products.
Microbial processes are being examined as viable remediation technologies to fight
environmental pollution, thus a variety of cleanup technologies have been put into
practice and novel methods of bioremediation for the treatment of agro-industrial wastes
are currently being worked out. An emerging field is the exploitation of waste’s nutritive
potential for the production of various high-value compounds.
This chapter presents a summary of the most studied macrofungi in the bioremediation
of agro-industrial wastes, the processes involved as well as the main characteristics of
important agro-industrial wastewaters and the simultaneous use of its nutritional potential
