Removal of copper ions from dilute solutions by Streptomyces noursei mycelium. Comparison with yeast biomass.
Sorption properties of Streptomyces noursei mycelium for copper ions were compared with the accumulation competence of dried and native yeast (Candida utilis) biomass. The copper sorption capacity of S. noursei after optimization was found to be higher than that of the two other adsorbents (dried yeast biomass 82 %, native Candida cells 48 % of the sorption capacity of the S. noursei mycelium).
