Bioimmobilization and transformation of chromium and cadmium in the fungi-microalgae symbiotic system.

Microalgae and fungi in the fungi-microalgae symbiotic system(FMSS) can solve the problems of deep purification of heavy metals in wastewater and harvesting of microalgae cell by synergistic interaction. Therefore, it is of great significance to use the FMSS for remediation of heavy metal pollution. However, at present, the immobilization and transformation mechanism of heavy metals in the FMSS is not clear, which limits the development and industrial application of the FMSS with high adsorption performance, high selectivity, and high tolerance.

Synergism and mutualistic interactions between microalgae and fungi in fungi-microalgae symbiotic system.

The method of collecting microalgae using fungal mycelium pellets has attracted widespread attention because of its high efficiency and simplicity. In this study, the interaction in FMSS was explored using Aspergillus fumigatus and Synechocystis sp. PCC6803.

Biosorption behavior and mechanism of cadmium from aqueous solutions by sp. PCC6803.

Cyanobacteria are promising adsorbents that are widely used for heavy metal removal in aqueous solutions. However, the underlying adsorption mechanism of sp. PCC6803 is currently unclear.
