Recently, extensive research on basidiomycetous fungi has been conducted to isolate new organisms with enormous secretion of ligninolytic enzymes with potential industrial applications. The present study reports the screening of 13 phenol tolerant isolates from 51 rotted wood samples collected from Jalgaon district, Maharashtra (India). The isolates were tested for ligninolytic enzyme productio...

The pollution caused by dyestuffs has been a serious environmental problem for years. Within the overall category of dyestuffs, Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) is an anthraquinone dye used in textile industries. This paper concerns study different experimental parameters which affect decolorization efficiency RBBR mixture. Thermal degradation done carried out with 4 mL 10 ppm solution into reac...

In this work, we synthesized a chitosan-activated carbon composite (Cs–C) using sodium tripolyphosphate (STTP) as crosslinker and it was evaluated for the adsorptive removal of RBBR dye showing excellent capacity 540.3 mg g −1 .

The white rot fungi Stereum ostrea displayed a wide diversity in their response to supplemented inducers, surfactants, and copper sulphate in solid state fermentation. Among the inducers tested, 0.02% veratryl alcohol increased the ligninolytic enzyme production to a significant extent. The addition of copper sulphate at 300 μM concentration has a positive effect on laccase production increasin...

Of the five species of white rot fungi evaluated for their ability to decolorize Amaranth, Remazol Black B, Remazol Orange, Remazol Brilliant Blue, Reactive Blue, and Tropaeolin O in agar plates, Bjerkandera sp. BOS55, Phanerochaete chrysosporium, and Trametes versicolor displayed the greatest extent of decoloration. In static aqueous culture, the three cultures formed fungal mats which did not...

Efficiency of white-rot fungi-Stereum ostrea (S. ostrea) as a test culture and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium) as a reference culture in colour removal from a textile dye, Remazol brilliant blue-19 (RBB-19) in medium was compared in this study. S. ostrea was more efficient than P. chrysosporium in decoloration process. Different parameters pH, temperature, sources of carbon and n...
