ABSTRACT
Mycofiltration membrane has been used as biological filter to filter pathogens including bacteria, protozoan and viruses. It is a green technology that has gained popularity over time. Fresh water availability is a significant issue for the entire world and majority of the water comes from surface source such as dams, rivers, lake, and canals. These sources serve as a best sink for discharge of domestic and industrial waste. These discharges decrease the quality and availability of freshwater consumption, and it also causes flooding, extinction of species and modification to the distribution and structure of the aquatic biota. The use of different particle corn cob sizes filtrate, 2.26mm, 3.35mm, 5.00mm, 6.30mm and 10.00mm as biofilters for mycofiltration to demonstrate the effectiveness in water restoration of the physico-chemical properties of laundry wastewater is paramount. Mycolfiltration is a remediation tool of using fungi such Pleurotus tuberregium to restore wastewater by employing remediation tools such bioconversion, diodegradation, and biosorption that is advantageous in restoring the aesthetic value of water and reducing the contamination level. Pleurotus tuberregium a fungus exhibit potential of biomerediation because of the presence of the enzymatic activity of lignase and other enzymes and to the poor substrate specificity of their reaction chains that help to degrade polymers. Pleurotus tuberregium shows conceivable merits as good coagulants, disinfectants and nutraceutical benefits.
