Fungi in Waste Water Treatment

Author: S. Sreeremya

Abstract: Traditional biological wastewater treatment produces large quantity of low value bacterial biomass. The treatment and dumping of this excess bacterial biomass, also known as waste activated sludge, accounts for about 40–65% of the wastewater treatment plant operation cost. A different form of biomass with a higher value could crucially change the economics of wastewater treatment.
