Lignin removal for P. ostreatus viable biomass (VB/P.O), inactive biomass (IB/P.O), P. pastoris VB/P.P and IB/P.P with 10%, 5%, and 1% (v/v) SBL. Lignin removal was observed for both microorganisms, reaching levels of 88% for 10% (v/v) SBL with P. ostreatus and 73% for 1% (v/v) SBL with P. pastoris. The removal by adsorption for both cases ranged between 13 and 30%. The letters represent heterogeneous groups obtained after analysis with the Tukey test. The letter a, corresponds to the best treatment, followed by the letters b,c,d and e. The results are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 3).
