Characterization of the Enzymatic and Biosorption Processes Involved in the Decolorization of Remazol Brilliant Blue R Dye by Pleurotus ostreatus Pellets

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates how oyster mushroom pellets can effectively remove harmful synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater through a combination of chemical absorption and enzymatic breakdown. The fungus produces specialized enzymes that degrade the complex dye molecules while also physically absorbing dye particles. This biological approach offers a promising, sustainable alternative to traditional chemical wastewater treatment methods used in the textile industry.

Optimising Chlorella vulgaris bioflocculation by Aspergillus Niger pellets and their application in wastewater treatment and lipid production

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates an innovative approach to cleaning wastewater using a combination of algae and fungal pellets. The scientists optimized conditions for growing Aspergillus niger fungi as compact pellets that can efficiently trap and harvest microscopic algae cells. When these fungal-algae pellets were used to treat wastewater, they removed over 90% of harmful nutrients like ammonium and phosphate, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional water treatment methods.

Filamentous fungal pellets as versatile platforms for cell immobilization: developments to date and future perspectives

mycolabadmin

Filamentous fungi, commonly known as molds, can be grown into small spherical structures called pellets that act as excellent platforms for attaching and growing various types of cells. These fungal pellets are sustainable, biodegradable alternatives to synthetic materials and can support different cell types for applications ranging from producing cultivated meat to treating wastewater. The porous structure of fungal pellets allows cells to attach and grow while maintaining the ability to transfer nutrients and oxygen efficiently.
