MYCOREMEDIATION OF OLD AND INTERMEDIATE LANDFILL LEACHATES WITH AN ASCOMYCETE FUNGAL ISOLATE, LAMBERTELLA SP.
Siracusa, G., Q. Yuan, I. Chicca, A. Bardi, F. Spennati, S. Becarelli, D.B. Levin, G. Munz, et al.
Water 12(3):800(2020)
The Lambertella sp. Ascomycete fungal strain was isolated from polluted environmental matrices and used to reduce contamination and toxicity of intermediate and old landfill leachates. Batch tests were performed under cometabolic conditions with two different old leachates and suspended and immobilized Lambertella sp. biomass. The test resulted in a soluble chemical oxygen demand depletion of 70% and 45%, after 13 and 30 days, respectively. Intermediate landfill leachate was treated in lab-scale reactors operating in continuous conditions for three months, inoculated with immobilized Lambertella sp. biomass, in the absence of co-substrates. The Lambertella sp. depleted total organic carbon by 90.2%. The exploitability of the Lambertella sp. strain was also evaluated in terms of reduction of phyto-, cyto-, and mutagenicity of the different landfill leachates at the end of the myco-based treatment, resulting in efficient depletion of leachate clastogenicity. https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4441/12/3/800/htm
