A Biorefinery Approach Integrating Lipid and EPS Augmentation Along with Cr (III) Mitigation by Chlorella minutissima

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates that a common freshwater microalga called Chlorella minutissima can effectively remove toxic chromium from contaminated water while simultaneously producing high-quality biodiesel fuel and useful plant compounds. The microalga survives chromium exposure by activating powerful internal defense systems that protect it from oxidative stress. This integrated approach offers a sustainable solution to environmental contamination while generating renewable energy, supporting the transition to a circular economy.

Isolating and Identifying One Strain with Lead-Tolerant Fungus and Preliminary Study on Its Capability of Biosorption to Pb2+

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a fungal strain called Sarocladium that can effectively absorb lead from contaminated soil and water. This strain works best under specific conditions (25°C temperature and neutral pH) and can remove up to 37.75% of lead ions from highly contaminated solutions. The fungus captures lead through various chemical compounds on its cell surface, showing great promise as an inexpensive and environmentally friendly solution for cleaning up lead-polluted environments.

Diversity and Ecology of Fungi from Underexplored and Extreme Environments

mycolabadmin

This research collection explores fungi living in extreme environments like salty lagoons, Arctic lakes, and polluted soils. Scientists discovered that many fungi have special abilities to survive harsh conditions and can even help clean up contaminated areas. The findings suggest that understanding these remarkable fungi could lead to new applications in environmental cleanup and sustainable agriculture. The research emphasizes the need to combine traditional laboratory methods with modern genetic techniques to fully understand fungal diversity.
