Fungal chitosan production using agricultural and industrial wastes and heavy metal removal using chitosan derived nano biosorbents

Abstract

The above mentioned PhD thesis details chitosan production by fungi using different agricultural and industrial wastes as substrates Initial experiments were carried out using batch systems to evaluate biomass and chitosan production using Cunninghamella elegans and Peniciliium citrinum a novel organism isolated from an infected bamboo shoot with different industrial wastewater as the substrate Domestic paper mill and dairy wastewater were examined as substrates for chitosan production by...
