Biosorption of Lead and Copper Ions in Aqueous Solutions using Biomass of Indigenous Fungal Isolates, Fusarium equiseti and Penicillium citrinum

Bioremediation is an alternative green technology for the removal of heavy metals pollution because of their toxicity to the environment and public health. Screening of fungal isolates, isolated from mangrove soil environment with promising potentials for sequestering heavy metals from aqueous so...
