Biosorption of Pb2+ using Fusarium sp. RS01, a Hg2+ and Pb2+-resistant indigenous fungus of an abandoned illegal gold mining site

This study aims to identify and characterize Hg2+ and Pb2+-resistant indigenous fungi that originated in Mandor, an abandoned illegal gold mining site in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The resistant fungus which has the highest ability in uptaking Pb2+ is then further examined for its biosorption chara...
