Aquatic Fungi Recovered from Water and Submerged Mud Polluted With Industrial Effluents

Potential Fungi for Bioremediation of Industrial Effluents

Two fungi (unidentified) were isolated from soil and marine environments. These isolates were used for bioremediation of pulp and paper mill effluent at the laboratory scale. The treatment resulted in the reduction of color, lignin, and COD of the effluent in the order of 78.6%, 79.0%, and 89.4% in 21 days. A major part of reductions in these parameters occurred within 5 days of the treatment, ...

The Recovery of Streptomycin from Industrial Effluents

The application of Purolite A-510 anionic resin for an industrial effluent treatment generated by the technological process of streptomycin production is studied taking into account the recycling requirements of treated wastewater and recovery demands of all useful materials (e.g., solvents, antibiotics etc.). All the experiments were performed on a laboratory set-up scale by working into stati...

Rapid Determination of Chromium (M)lli Natural Water and Industrial Effluents Using Kinetic Speetrophotometric Method

A new simple arid rapid catalytic kinetic method for determination of trace amounts of chromium (110 isdescribed. The method is based on the catalytic effect of chromium (III) on the reduction of Methylene blue byascorbic acid in acidic media. The reaction monitored smectrophotomenically by measuring the decrease ofabsorbance at 664 nm at 25 C. The fixed-time method was used for the first 300 s...

Some Aquatic Fungi Imperfecti from Hawaii

FRESH-WATER hyphomycetes from tropical locations have been reported by Ingold (1 956, 1958 , 1959, 1960 ) , Dixon (1959) , Greathead (1961) , Hudson (1961), Hudson and Ingold ( 1960 ) , and Nilsson ( 1962) . Reports from the Pacific area include California (Ranzoni, 1953) , and Japan (Tubaki, 1957, 1960; Suzuki and Nimura, 1960a, b; and Nimura, 1960 ). The Fungi Imperfecti reported in this pape...
