From: Lead immobilization assisted by fungal decomposition of organophosphate under various pH values
TEM imaging on mycelium (cross section) after reaction with Pb2+ and calcium phytate at pHEC = 5.5 (EC: continuous pH adjustment treatments). Images (A,B) show that the location of the minerals around the mycelium. The arrows point to the boundary of cell wall of the mycelium in image (B). Images (C,E) show that the morphology of the mineralized products. The EDS spectrum of the circled area is shown in the bottom right corner. SAD patterns (circled areas) show the strong diffraction of 2.99 Å (D) and 2.96 Å (F) for pyromorphite.
