Ni2+ and Cd2+ Biosorption Capacity and Redox-Mediated Toxicity Reduction in Bacterial Strains from Highly Contaminated Soils of Uzbekistan

mycolabadmin

Researchers in Uzbekistan discovered three types of bacteria that can remove dangerous heavy metals like cadmium and nickel from contaminated soil. These bacteria work by clinging to the metal particles on their surfaces and even chemically transforming them into less harmful forms. The study found that these bacteria work best at neutral pH and warmer temperatures, making them promising candidates for cleaning up polluted environments naturally and affordably.

Feasibility of the use of Lentinula edodes mycelium in terbinafine remediation

mycolabadmin

Scientists tested whether shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) could remove terbinafine, a common antifungal medication, from contaminated environments. The mushroom mycelium successfully accumulated and broke down the drug into harmless byproducts, with no trace remaining in the surrounding medium. This eco-friendly approach offers a promising alternative to expensive chemical cleanup methods for pharmaceutical pollution.

Heavy Metal Remediation by Dry Mycelium Membranes: Approaches to Sustainable Lead Remediation in Water

mycolabadmin

This research shows that dried mushroom root networks (mycelium) can effectively remove toxic lead from contaminated water, making it a natural and sustainable alternative to expensive chemical treatments. When enhanced with phosphate treatment, mycelium can remove over 95% of lead even at high concentrations. The mycelium membranes work well in continuous water filtration systems while being biodegradable and environmentally friendly, offering promising solutions for households and communities dealing with lead-contaminated drinking water.
