From: Mycoalgae biofilm: development of a novel platform technology using algae and fungal cultures
Parameters | Conditions tested | Suitable conditions for lichen-type biofilm formation |
|---|---|---|
Different fungal strains with C. vulgaris | Mucor circinelloides UMN-B34; Fusarium equiseti (A11); Fusarium lacertarum (A13); Nigrospora oryzae (A16); Altermaria alternate (A20); Fusarium equiseti (B5); Mucor hiemalis (B7) and Mortierella isabellina (MI) | Mucor sp. UMN B34 |
Matrix type | Cotton/cotton-polypropylene/metal matrices | Polypropylene-Yarn |
Duration of the process | 0–180 h | After 160 h > 98 % algae attachment |
