The bioleaching experiment was conducted for the removal of heavy metals from mine tailings. A fungal strain was isolated from the gold mine tailings and it has been identified as Aspergillus fumigatus based on its 18S rDNA analysis. Bioleaching using A. fumigatus was carried out in bioleaching step processes (one-step and two-step) at various tailings concentrations to determine the efficiency of metal extraction. The results demonstrated significant heavy metal reduction, indicating the potential of A. fumigatus in bioremediation strategies. The efficiency of extraction was assessed based on the concentration of metals before and after treatment, showing a remarkable capability of the fungus to mobilize and solubilize metal ions. These findings suggest that Aspergillus fumigatus could be an effective agent for bioremediation of contaminated mine tailings, potentially leading to safer environmental practices in mining regions.
