Rev. mex. fitopatol [online]. 2024, vol.42, n.1, RMEXFIT23022.  Epub Jan 27, 2025. ISSN 2007-8080.  https://doi.org/10.18781/r.mex.fit.2302-2.

Aspergillus oryzae is a filamentous fungus capable of degrading various substances employing enzymes, which is why it is widely used in the biotechnological industry, pharmaceutical products, enzymes for industrial use, bleaching agents, anti- pollution textile treatments. However, few works focus on these microorganism’s field applications. This manuscript reviews the potentially beneficial applications of A. oryzae and some by-products in agriculture as biological control, growth inducer, and bioremediation for soils contaminated with heavy metals.

Keywords : Bioremediation; nematicide; insecticide; microorganisms; metabolites; non-toxigenic.
