Mycoremediation: a method for test- to pilot-scale application

摘要

The Battelle Marine Sciences Laboratory (MSL) developed an approach called mycoremediation that begins with field collection of higher fungi from a contaminated vicinity of interest or a comparable site and that includes the steps of selection, culture, toxicity testing, screening, preconditioning, mesocosmscale testing, and pilot-scale application. These steps result in development of proprietary fungal strains that are predisposed to remediate specific contaminants at increased efficiency under particular environmental regimes.
