“…A large number of biomaterials such as algae, fungi, bacteria, yeast, biopolymers, and bio‐waste have been used for Pd(II) sorption and recovery . Some of the reported potential biosorbents for sorption of Pd(II) used in the past decade include sulfate‐reducing bacteria, Chlorella vulgaris , Saccharomyces cerevisiae , L‐lysine modified chitosan resin, Racomitrium lanuginosum , chemically modified cedar wood powder, polyallylamine hydrochloride‐modified Escherichia coli , polyethylenimine modified Corynebacterium glutamicum , anaerobic bacterial community, and acid treated Escherichia coli . The use of microbial biomass suffers from drawbacks such as difficulties in solid–liquid separation owing to small particle size, low density, poor mechanical strength, and low reusability, whereas some chemically modified biomass makes use of expensive chemicals.…”
