This study investigated the effects of biodegradation by the mixed culture of fungi (Pithomyces sacchari and Pestalotiopsis maculans) on selected physical properties of palm oil mill effluent (POME). Mixed culture innoculum (4% v/v) was added to autoclaved and raw POME samples, which were subjected...
