Bioremoval of humic acid from water by white rot fungi: exploring the removal mechanisms

Abstract: Twelve white rot fungi (WRF) strains were screened on agar plates for their ability to bleach humic acid (HA). Four fungal strains were selected and tested in liquid media for removal of HA. Bioremediation was investigated by HA color removal and changes in the concentration and molecular size distribution of HA by size exclusion chromatography. Trametes versicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium showed the highest HA removal efficiency, reaching about 80%. Laccase and manganese peroxidase were measured as ext… Show more

“…The details of the SEC analysis of humic content of the media have been explained before [10]. Briefly, each sample (2 mL) was acidified (pH <2) by adding 20 μL HCl (37%), and centrifuged (14,000, 20 min).…”
