Extremely chaotolerant and kosmotolerant Aspergillus atacamensis – a metabolically versatile fungus suitable for recalcitrant biosolid treatment

Scientists discovered a special fungus called Aspergillus atacamensis that can survive in extremely salty environments, similar to salt lakes in the Atacama Desert. This fungus is remarkable because it can break down harmful pollutants and chemicals, including medications and oil-based compounds. Researchers tested its ability to clean contaminated wastewater and biosolids, finding it highly effective at removing various contaminants. This discovery opens new possibilities for using this hardy fungus to clean up environmental pollution in industries and wastewater treatment facilities.

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

Researchers used oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) pellets to remove toxic blue dye commonly found in textile wastewater. The study found that these mushroom pellets achieved 98.5% dye removal through multiple mechanisms: special enzymes (laccase and peroxidase) that break down the dye molecules, and physical absorption where the dye sticks to the mushroom cells. The mushroom could also use the dye as a food source, making this an effective and sustainable approach for cleaning industrial wastewater.
