Decolorization of Six Synthetic Dyes by Fungi

Corresponding Author: Mika A. Kähkönen Department of Food and Environmental Sciences, Division of Microbiology and Biotechnology, P.O. Box 56, Biocenter 1, FI 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland Email: [email protected] Abstract: To find out ability of fourteen basidiomycetes and four ascomycetes strains to grow in the presence of synthetic colour dyes and to degrade them, fungi were ...

Recent Advances in Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Decolorization of Synthetic Dyes

During the process and operation of the dyes, the wastes produced were commonly found to contain organic and inorganic impurities leading to risks in the ecosystem and biodiversity with the resultant impact on the environment. Improper effluent disposal in aqueous ecosystems leads to reduction of sunlight penetration which in turn diminishes photosynthetic activity, resulting in acute toxic eff...

Statistical Optimization of Conditions for Decolorization of Synthetic Dyes by Cordyceps militaris MTCC 3936 Using RSM

In the present study, the biobleaching potential of white rot fungus Cordyceps militaris MTCC3936 was investigated. For preliminary screening, decolorization properties of C. militaris were comparatively studied using whole cells in agar-based and liquid culture systems. Preliminary investigation in liquid culture systems revealed 100% decolorization achieved within 3 days of incubation for rea...
