Abstract
The accidental release of crude oil and its byproducts into the environment has raised concerns mainly because of their serious consequences to the ecosystem. The adoption of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) as a sustainable approach in dealing with these chemicals has revealed promising outcomes. These microbes can form symbiotic mycorrhizal relationships with the host plants facilitating the availability of nutrients to the plant and other soil microorganisms that facilitate hydrocarbon degradation. This review incorporates studies from Asia, Europe, and Africa, which together showcase the extraordinary capacity of AMF to decompose petroleum hydrocarbons. The analysis underscore AMF’s ability to accelerate the breakdown of diverse hydrocarbon compounds typically present in petroleum, thus offering a promising strategy for bioremediation efforts. Future investigations in this field should focus on optimizing AMF strains to maximize their potential for petroleum hydrocarbon degradation. By identifying and selecting specific AMF strains that exhibit enhanced capabilities for breaking down hydrocarbons, it may be possible to transform their efforts towards more efficient bioremediation strategies.
