Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation (1996)
Book Chapter
Singleton, I., & Tobin, J. M. (1996). Fungal interactions with metals and radionuclides for environmental bioremediation. In J. C. Frankland, N. Magan, & G. M. Gadd (Eds.), Fungi and environmental change, (282-298). Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.

Microorganisms, including fungi, are known to accumulate metals from their external environment and the possibility of using fungi as a means of treating metal/radionuclide-containing effluents is well recognized (Siegel, Galun & Siegel, 1990; Gadd,...

A method to increase silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1996)
Journal Article
Simmons, P., & Singleton, I. (1996). A method to increase silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Applied microbiology and biotechnology, 45(1-2), 278-285. https://doi.org/10.1007/s002530050684

Ag+ biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Older (96 h old) biomass had half the biosorption capacity of younger (24 h old) biomass (0.187 and 0.387 mmol Ag+/g dry mass respectively). Comparisons of cell wal...

Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (1996)
Journal Article
Singleton, I., & Simmons, P. (1996). Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 65(1), 21-28. https://doi.org/10.1002/%28SICI%291097-4660%28199601%2965%3A13.0

Factors affecting silver biosorption by Saccharomyces cerevisiae biomass, obtained as a waste product from industry, were examined. Maximum removal of silver from solution was achieved within 5 min. Increasing the concentration of biomass in experime... Read More about Factors affecting silver biosorption by an industrial strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
