Summary
Fungal pellets of wood-rotting fungi (diameters ranged from 0.2 to 2 cm) were obtained by submerged cultivation on nutrient rich medium. Biosorption of cadmium (initial concentration, 10 mM) in batch system was followed by HPLC. Of 20 fungal strains tested, high abilities to accumulate cadmium were found in Fomitopsis pinicola (130.2 mg/g) and Trametes versicolor (109.5 mg/g). P. chrysosporium contained 84.5 mg Cd /g dry weight.
