Selection of nutrients for the production of Myco-coagulant from Mycelial fungus fermentation

Despite potential negative effects on human health and other living beings, chemical coagulants are widely used for the removal of suspended solids and turbidity from water. Therefore, search for efficient bio-coagulants is still on going in various parts of the world. Myco-coagulant is successfully...
