“…51 Several advanced methods were applied to the mycelial pellet technology to enhance the ability to absorb heavy metals. 52 A study on Phanecrochaete chrysosporium showed that polyethylenimine-modified biosorbent can effectively remove Cr 6+ from wastewater. 53 In addition, the composite of mycelial pellets and other materials can also achieve better treatment of heavy-metal wastewater.…”

The mycelial pellet is a microbial aggregator formed under certain conditions. Besides the ability to secrete metabolites and adsorb a large amount of pollutants, the mycelial pellet has the characteristics of high biological activity, fast sedimentation speed, and easy solid−liquid separation. The technology of the mycelial pellet has been considered to be a promising technology for biomass utilization. To date, the mycelial pellet has been extensively studied for the production of various valuable products. Applications of mycelial pellets for microalgal biomass harvesting and wastewater treatment have also received more attention in recent years. Nevertheless, there are still some difficulties in the practical application of mycelial pellet technology. This review focuses on the characteristics, formation mechanism, formation conditions, and application research of mycelial pellets. This study provides much knowledge and information on the application technology of mycelial pellets in water pollution control, microalgae biomass harvesting, and industrial fermentation production. Problems existing in the scientific research and the main development trends of mycelial pellets are presented.

“…Thus, pure pellets are preferred over other materials for wastewater treatment. Several studies have investigated the removal of metals by pure pellets from wastewater, such as Mn, Phe (Wu, Xu, Ding, Li, & Xu, ), Cr (Xu et al., ), and Se (Espinosa‐Ortiz, Rene, Hullebusch, & Lens, ), and found that the pure pellets can perform well within the pH range of 2–7 and the temperature range of 25–35°C.…”

“…For instance, Xu et al. () found that mycelial pellets of Penicillium simplicissimum impregnated with the powdered biochar had similar effects on the removal of Cr(VI) to polyvinyl alcohol and sodium alginate. The solution pH controlled the adsorption and the subsequent reduction of Cr(VI) with groups such as ‐OH, ‐NH, ‐CH, ‐CHO, and –C‐OH.…”

Mycelial pellets, as a novel biomass material, can adsorb pollutants as a biosorbent, or combine other substances and organisms to form self-immobilized biomixture (SIB) to remove pollutants from wastewater. The pellets are eco-friendly, have a good selfimmobilization capacity, and are easy to filter. In addition, some mycelial fungi can remove the pollutants in water through biodegradation. This study reviewed biomixture based on mycelial pellets and the two ways, through which SIB remove pollutants in water: pure pellets and the pellets with other materials. The characteristics and functions of each part of SIB were discussed. The study also highlighted the shortcomings of the technology and provided recommendations for further development of this technology.

“…Since the 1980s microbial materials have been identified as the efficient, economical, eco-friendly and innovative options for the adsorption of pollutants from aqueous solutions containing heavy metals [110]- [112], textile dyes [43], [53], [108], [113]- [116] and hence possess great potential for application in several other fields. They are naturally occurring, abundant sources for removing pollutants and a possible alternative for expensive adsorbents like AC.…”

“…However, their low density, low mechanical strength and low rigidity make it challenging to separate the biomass in practice. Immobilization of the biomass onto a solid matrix has overcome this problem besides retaining the native properties and improving the operation and regeneration characteristics [43], [110]. Despite all the advantages stated, bio sorption is still not ubiquitous at larger scales due to exorbitant chemicals like ethanol, methanol, and organic surfactants, further increasing the treatment costs besides transferring back the biologically adsorbed dyes to aqueous solution [53].…”
