Removal of TBP sorbed on wood by Trametes versicolor through solid-state fermentation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: per cycle). The wood residues obtained after each sorption cycle were inoculated with T. versicolor. After 60 days of inoculation, fungus degraded over 90 % of TBP in each cycle's wood residue. However, fungal growth was inhibited, resulting in a 43 % decrease in biomass compared to controls. The fact that biomass remained active and capable of degrading TBP suggests that the growth decrease is likely due to the formation of transformation products. An increase in toxicity units (from 13.64 to 87.86 at the end) was associated with the accumulation of 3-hydroxybutyl dihydrogen phosphate (OH-MBP). However, subsequent experiments demonstrated that given sufficient time, the fungus not only degraded OH-MBP but also produced a non-toxic effluent.
