central and peripheral nervous system, as well as interference with enzymatic systems …

Fungal bioremediation is a promising approach to remove heavy-metal from contaminated
water. Present study examined the ability of an earthworm gut fungus Trichoderma …

When exposed to higher Pb 2+ concentration, Phanerochaete chrysosporium secreted
higher content of oxalate and thiol compounds. An earlier and faster increase in oxalate was …

The biosorption of cadmium and lead by Penicillium sp. isolated from an uncontaminated

Fungi bioaccumulation is a novel and highly promising approach to remediate polluted soil.
The present study revealed a high ability to tolerate Cd and Cr in the fungus Pleurotus …

Extensive studies have been operated on the biosorption of heavy metal using white-rot
fungi, whereas information on the stability of the sorbed metal species has never been taken …

High concentrations of lead (Pb) in agricultural soil and wastewater represent a severe
threat to the ecosystem and health of living organisms. Among available removal …

The potential of Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom and its spent substrate were investigated for
the biosorption of lead (II) from aqueous solutions in both batch and dynamic experiments …

Due to various anthropogenic activities, different heavy metals like arsenic (As), cadmium
(Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and nickel (Ni) accumulate in the …

Heavy metal contamination, of natural water resources, resulting from the large amounts of
toxic waste generated by industrial practices is of great environmental concern. Lead (Pb) in …
