Abstract. The heavy metal resistant isolate FR1 was identified using phenotypic and genotypic characteristics; it was classified as Aspergillus terreus strain. Lactose and yeast extract were favorable for Cr +5 and Cu +2 ions biosorption by tested strain after 6 days incubation period. The positive significant variables (yeast extract, temperature & inoculum size or lactose, yeast extract, temperature & incubation period) affecting heavy metals biosorption using Placket-Burman statistical experimental design in presence Cr +5 and Cu +2 were further optimized by using response surface methodology. It was found that the highest growth of strain in presence of Cr +5 and Cu +2 (4.31 and 3.69 gL -1 ) were attained at 0.15% yeast extract, 2% inoculum size & incubated at 28°C and 0.65 % lactose, 0.15% yeast extract, an incubation temperature of 30 °C and 8 days incubation period, respectively. There is no significant difference between absorption and adsorption mechanism for reduction of heavy metals from Egyptian phosphatic fertilizer sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
