Abstract
Our study highlights that fungal biosorption capacity is highly dependent on the sampling area (roadside vs jungle) with roadside fungal strains showing significantly higher copper (Cu) biosorption capacities using living biomass compared to fungal strains originating from plants collected in virgin jungle (P<0·05). It also highlights that different biosorption mechanisms (alive - metabolic dependent and dead biomass - metabolic independent) result in different amounts of Cu being removed from the solutions. The living biomass possessed a better biosorption capacity than the dead biomass (P<0·05).
