Transcript
This protocol is significant because it isolates fungal strains with high degradative potential directly from soil samples to be considered as candidates for bioremediation purposes. This protocol is a low-cost screening to find fungi with bioreme

Here, we present a protocol for screening soil biodiversity to look for fungal strains involved in the degradation of recalcitrant materials. First, fungal strains able to grow on humic acids or lignocellulose are isolated. Their activity is then tested both in enzymatic assays and on pollutants such as hydrocarbons and plastics.
