White-rot fungi for micropollutant removal?
Published by Muhammad Bilal Asif, PhD Researcher at University of Wollongong in Academic
White-rot fungi (WRF) are a type of fungus that can degrade lignin, a class of complex natural organic polymers found in the cell wall of plants, by using their extracellular enzymatic system, called as ligninolytic enzymes. WRF and their ligninolytic enzymes have also been studied for the treatment of a variety of recalcitrant compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, dyes, and chlorophenols.
However, WRF have not been extensively studied for the treatment of real wastewater. This review article critically elucidate the effectiveness/suitability of WRF based treatment processes for micropollutant removal.

Thanks for the suggestion, we surely will contact them.
We have studied fungal enzymes for pharmaceutical degradation.

Hi Bilal good day to you.
Have you done any case study on the above and i also suggest you visit www.EnviroFluid.com a company based in Australia (your region) to conduct further study with them specially on Legionella, they have excellent product with them which could be a solution for your requirement.
