Abstract
The present study focused on the isolation, characterization, and utilization of fungal species from the Koya district in Iraq for Dye removal purposes. The study involved the biosynthesis and characterization of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using three isolates fungal (Fusarium, Mucor, and Cladosporium). Characterization techniques included X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. The biofabricated AgNPs demonstrated substantial adsorption capabilities, efficiently removing different dyes from aqueous media within 1 hour, with Fusarium begonia showing the highest removal rates (89.5–98.3%) that indicates that the AgNPs demonstrated sustainable adsorption capacity, making them effective in the context of the study. In conclusion, this study underscores the significant impact of diverse growth conditions on biomass growth in various fungal species. Furthermore, the findings highlight the potential of fungal isolates, fungal powder, and biosynthesized AgNPs in environmentally friendly and efficient approaches for the removal of diverse dyes, paving the way for their application in environmental remediation procedures.
