The performance of wastewater treatment by two-species immobilized lignin-degrading mycelial pellet GX-1310

This study found a new type of immobilized mycelial pellet GX-1310, which can better treat industrial wastewater. Among them, Aspergillus fumigatus G-13 (degradable lignin) was combined with Bacillus cereus X10-1-2 (having the ability to produce cellulase), and the two synergistically produce strong degradation ability. Taking combined mycelial pellet as the research object, its ability to treat papermaking wastewater, heavy metal wastewater and dye wastewater was investigated. The combined mycelial pellet was superior to the single fungal mycelium in the degradation of lignocellulose, removal of heavy metal ions and adsorption capacity of dyes. And the combined mycelial pellet has a wide range of application conditions (temperature range 28-34°C and pH range 4-8), which can maintain high processing capacity for papermaking wastewater, heavy metal wastewater and dye wastewater. After three batches of wastewater treatment, the combined mycelial pellet still maintains high activity and can continuously treat wastewater. The study fixed the single fungal mycelium together with cellulose-degrading bacteria, the strains producing different enzymes were combined to form a multi-functional combined mycelial pellet. This method provides a new way for industrial wastewater treatment.

Mycelial pellet-derived heteroatom-doped carbon nanosheets with a three-dimensional hierarchical porous structure for efficient capacitive deionization

The mycelial pellet-derived hierarchical porous carbon nanosheets were fabricated facilely and showed high electrosorption capacity of 18.71 mg g−1 for capacitive deionization.
