Article Synopsis
- Recent studies show a significant increase in knowledge about the relationships between fungi and their bacterial associates, which previously focused on a limited number of taxa.
- This research screened over 700 diverse fungal isolates across 366 genera, revealing a wide range of bacterial associates, including from unexplored fungal groups.
- Findings suggest that bacterial associations are common in fungal cultures, highlighting the importance of considering these interactions in microbiome research.
The present study investigated the effect of contact time, the initial concentration of metal ions, and the biomass dose on the Cu(II) biosorption from an aqueous solution using dead biomass of filamentous fungus Penicillium ochrochloron, which was isolated at the Sossego mine, a copper-contaminated site located in Canaã dos Carajás city, Brazil. The Cu(II) biosorption started rapidly and increased gradually until the equilibrium was reached at 20 min. The Cu(II) uptake decreased as the initial Cu(II) concentration increased, reaching the saturation at 200 mg/L.
