Objective: To find an efficient and fast method for microbial immobilization, we compared simultaneity culture method and adsorption method on morphology and intrastructure of combined mycelial pellets, as well as their o-chlorophenol biodegradation efficiency.
Methods: The o-chlorophenol degrading photosynthetic bacterium PSB-1D was immobilized onto mycelial pellets formed by Phanerochaete chrysosporium DH-1 to form combined mycelial pellets. The morphology and intrastructure of pellets formed by two immobilization methods were observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope.
