Microbial Pb(ii) Precipitation: Yeast Extract Autolyzed from Saccharomyces Cerevisiae as a Sustainable Growth Substrate

This study aimed to quantify the effectiveness of yeast extract, autolyzed from commercial baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), as a more economical growth medium for the Pb(II) removing consortium. Three parameters were tested, i.e. the amount Pb(II) removed, metabolic activity, and a measurem...
