| Abstract | ||
| ELEVEN S. cerevisiae strains alive and dead forms were screened for biosorption and bioaccumulation of iron from prepared aqueous solution.<i> S. cerevisiae </i> strains F-707 in alive form was found to be excellent Fe+2 biosorbent that biosorbed 21.9 mg Fe+2/ g yeast biomass. Optimization of cultural conditions revealed that optimum concentration of Fe+2 was 5.6 mg Fe+2 /l after 20 min at pH 7, agitation rate ,150 rpm and yeast biomass concentration 0.1g / l at 30ºC for maximum Fe+2 biosorption by S.cerevisiae F-707 in alive form | ||
