Immobilization of white rot fungi was assessed on corn stover, wheat straw, peanut shells, wood chip, and corn cobs. <em>Phlebia</em> sp., <em>Lenzites betulinus</em> and <em>Irpex lacteus</em> were grown in defined nutri­ent media for the remediation of pesticide-contaminated soils. The carrier of the biomass was determined by observing the growth of white rot fungi. The results showed that corn stover and wheat straw are suitable carriers of the immobilized white rot fungi and that <em>Phlebia</em> sp. and <em>Lenzites betulinus</em> have a positive effect on the degradation of chlorpyrifos. At 30 °C and neutral pH, the degradation rate of chlorpyrifos was 74.35 %, <em>Phlebia</em> sp. being immobilized by corn stover in 7 days, which was the best result compared to other combin­ations of strains and carriers. The orthogonal experiment showed that the pH value and temperature affected the pollutant degradability more than the initial concentration and the biomass dosage.</p>}, number={7}, journal={Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society}, author={Wang, Xin and Song, Lei and Li, Zhaoxing and Ni, Zijun and Bao, Jia and Zhang, Huiwen}, year={2020}, month={Jul.}, pages={857–868} }
