Abstract

Soil contamination by hydrocarbons and hazardous chemical compounds is a serious issue for environmental sustainability. Bioremediation is an environmentally friendly approach that utilizes microorganisms to degrade pollutants. This article is a literature review focusing on two key microorganisms: the fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium and the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. Both are known to have synergistic abilities to break down complex hydrocarbons through ligninolytic enzymes and aromatic metabolic pathways. Literature data demonstrates the successful application of both in the remediation of oil-contaminated soil, textile wastewater, and chemical industry applications. The results of this study confirm that the effectiveness of bioremediation is strongly influenced by environmental conditions, such as pH, temperature, oxygen, and nutrient ratios. This study is expected to provide a comprehensive overview of the potential, mechanisms, applications, and factors influencing the effectiveness of P. chrysosporium and P. putida.
