Abstract
Fungal pellets of wood-rotting fungi (diameters ranged from 0.2 to 2 c m) were obtained by submerged cultivation on nutrient rich medium. Bio sorption of cadmium (initial concentration, 10 mM) in batch system was followed by HPLC. Of 20 fungal strains tested, high abilities to accu mulate cadmium were found in Fomitopsis pinicola (130.2 mg/g) and Tram etes versicolor (109.5 mg/g). P. chrysosporium contained 84.5 mg Cd/g dry weight.
