Trace metals cause deterioration of the soil and constitute a major concern for the
environment and human health. Bioremediation could be an effective solution for the …

Fungal mycelial by-products from fermentation industries present a considerable affinity for
soluble metal ions (eg Zn, Cd, Ni, Pb, Cr, Ag) and could be used in biosorption processes for …

Abstract Penicillium simplicissimum (isolate 10), a metal tolerant fungus, tolerated 1000
mg/L Cu and 500 mg/L Zn, but were inhibited by Cd (100 mg/L), evident by the Tolerance …

The removal of heavy metal from the environment, especially wastewater, is now shifting
from the use of conventional methods to the use of biosorption, which may be defined as the …

Filamentous fungi are able to accumulate significant amount of metals from their
environment. The potential of fungal biomass as agents for biosorption of heavy metals from …

Agricultural soil irrigated with industrial wastewater (more than two decades) analysed for
heavy metals revealed high levels of Fe, Cr, Cu, Zn, Ni and Cd. Out of a total of 40 bacterial …

Heavy metals like chromium (Cr (VI)) and cadmium (Cd (II)) which are supposed to be
indigenous components of rocks, are no longer bound to their place of origin thus …

Waste mycelia from several industrial fermentation plants (Aspergillus niger, Penicillium
chrysogenum, Claviceps paspali) were used as a biosorbent for zinc ions from aqueous …

Soil is a complex structure and contains mainly five major components ie mineral matter,
water, air, organic matter and living organisms. The quantity of these components in the soil …

Removal of divalent metal ions from pH buffered solutions by the soil fungi Rhizopus
arrhizus and Trichoderma viride has been examined at Cu2+, Cd2+ and Zn2+ …
