Utilization of fungi for biotreatment of raw wastewaters

摘要: Fungal biomasses are capable of treating metal-contaminated effluents with efficiencies several orders magnitude superior to activated carbon (F-400) or the industrial resin Dowex-50. Additionally, fungal susceptible engineering improvements and regeneration their capabilities. With regard organic pollutants, excessive nutrients dyes, fungi can remove them from wastewaters, leading a decrease in toxicities. However, detoxification rates seem be dependent on media culture conditions. The postreatement by anaerobic bioprocesses that have been pretreated lead higher biogas than original effluents. In addition degradation produce added-value products such as enzymes (LiP, MnP, Lacc, amylase, etc.) single-cell protein (SCP). Most research capacities purify polluted has performed laboratory scale, hence there is need extend pilot scale apply it processes.
