The processes involving minerals in supergene environments are those occurring at or near the Earth's surface. In these environments, lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere continuously interact with each other, triggering reactions that lead to the weathering of preexisting minerals and to the genesis of authigenic phases. The...

Metal contamination constitutes a major source of pollution globally. Many recent studies emphasized the need to develop cheap and green technologies for the remediation or reclamation of environmental matrices contaminated by heavy metals. In this context, fungi are versatile organisms that can be exploited for bioremediation activities. In...
