Promising approaches towards biotransformation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with Ascomycota fungi

- Non-ligninolytic fungi are able to transform polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
- The mechanisms and pathways involved in this transformation are poorly understood.
- Multigene families that encode xenome proteins may reflect specific adaptations.
- Functional genomics can help to understand and predict bioremediation processes.
