Comparison of four supports for adsorption of reactive dyes by immobilized Aspergillus fumigatus beads

Enzyme production by immobilized Phanerochaete chrysosporium using airlift reactor

“…However, one of the most common problems with these types of supports is that fungal hyphae agglomerate into bioreactors (Wang & Hu 2007), whereas biogel alginate protects biomass and provides a homogenous aerobic condition, which helps to avoid impurities into fermentation products. It has been established that other materials as those made of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or chitosan could have less resistance at pH extremes and high agitated cultures conditions.…”

“…It has been established that other materials as those made of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or chitosan could have less resistance at pH extremes and high agitated cultures conditions. In addition, structure of mycelium is affected by these materials and enzymes actuation may be also be limited (Urek & Pazarlioglu 2004;Wang & Hu 2007). …”

Biosorption of uranium (VI) by immobilized Aspergillus fumigatus beads

“…The strain was inoculated on a culture medium slant for 5 days and transferred into conical flasks containing culture and glass beads, and surged on a rotary shaker (180 r/min) at 30 C for 5 h, diluted to 10 7 /ml (Wang and Hu, 2007).…”

Bioaccumulation versus adsorption of reactive dye by immobilized growing Aspergillus fumigatus beads

“…In our prior studies [16,17], we found a natural polymer CMC was best suited for immobilizing the fungus and converted it to biomass beads that could be used for removal of dye from aqueous phase. In this study, we selected reactive brilliant blue KN-R, a common dye used in dyeing industries in China, as the target dye chemical for representative of non-biodegradable anthraquinone dyes due to their solubility resulting from ionized groups in their chemical structure in solution.…”
