| Abstract: | A white rot basidiomycete, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, was immobilized on loofa sponge (FBILS) discs. It removed ca. 37 and 71 mg Cd (II) g−1 from 50 and 200 mg l−1 aqueous solutions and up to 89% of 4-chloroanisole from a 10 mg l−1 aqueous solution. FBILS are physically strong and chemically recalcitrant, resisting temperature, mechanical agitation, and variations in pH without alteration to shape, structure or texture. |
