In the present research, a fungal strain was used to produce a myco-coagulant via solid-state bioconversion to reduce water turbidity. The production of myco-coagulant was achieved using several low-cost lignocellulolytic substrates, namely coco peat, sawdust, palm kernel cake, and rice bran as sour...
