The mycelial pellet is a kind of microorganism grain formed naturally under certain culture conditions. And it has the characteristics of not only strong metabolites ability and adsorption capacity of pollutants

but also good biological activity

fast sedimentation rate and easy solid-liquid separation. Recently

it has become a research hotspot in biomedical engineering and environmental protection fields at home and abroad. The characteristics and formation mechanism of mycelial pellets

optimization of culturing conditions were reviewed. The applications of mycelial pellets

including in industrial fermentation production

water pollution control and economic microalgae recovery etc.

were introduced in detail. Then

the problems that existed in the current research were analyzed. Furthermore

this paper concluded the research directions and development trends of research on mycelial pellets.
