Abstract
The sorption ability ofCandida utilis biomass for cadmium ions with accumulating competence of dried cells and cells in alginate was compared. After an optimization of process conditions (pH 5.5, biomass concentration 1 g/L andc 0 50 mg/L), the cadmium sorption capacity of dried yeast biomass was perceptibly higher than that of the other tested adsorbents. Considering the sorption of the dried yeast biomass equal to 100 %, the cells in alginate reached 86 % while native cells showed only 42 %.
