Abstract

An experimental study was conducted to examine the involvement of metabolic energy in the biosorption of As(III) by Aspergillus niger X300. Five major inhibitors of ATPase was added to the medium to inhibit ATPase. But no one exhibed adverse impact on the biosorption, suggesting there by, biosorption of As (III) by Aspergillus niger X300 is not dependent on the cost of metabolic energy.
