Evaluation of the lead removal capacity of Cladosporium sp.
Lead (Pb) is a highly toxic metal that can contaminate aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The objective of this study was to isolate and identify a filamentous fungus capable of removing Pb. Removal experiments were conducted at Pb concentrations of 50, 100, 250, 350, and 500 mg L-1. The parameters evaluated were hyph...
