Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to evaluate the pattern of changes in glucose, pH, and nitrogen profile in the synthetic medium as a function of fungal growth and As(III) biosorption by an As(III) resistant fungus Aspergillus niger X300. Glucose is continuously consumed, amino nitrogen increased up to 7th day, ammonical nitrogen increased continuously along with the sharp decrement of residual nitrogen in the broth.
