Article Synopsis
- A novel strain of Streptomyces K11, isolated from a highly alkaline environment, shows significant capability to absorb and accumulate zinc, even under extreme zinc concentration.
- Temperature greatly affects the speed of zinc biosorption, with a tenfold increase in initial rate when the temperature rises from 10 to 50°C, especially when using non-dried biomass.
- The study indicates that while zinc absorption is primarily chemically controlled, the process is best described by the Langmuir isotherm model, showing a maximum biosorption capacity of 0.75 mmol/g and a high bioaccumulation capacity of 4.4 mmol/g in living biomass.
