Removal of heavy metals using a brewer's yeast strain of saccharomyces cerevisiae: advantages of using dead biomass
Aim: The capacities of live and heat-killed cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae at 45°C for the removal of copper, nickel and zinc from the solution were compared. Methods and Results: Kinetic studies have shown a maximum accumulation of Ni2+ and Zn2+ after 10 min for both types of cells, while for...
