Abstract

White rot fungi have exclusive capacity to decolorize synthetic azo dyes. Five different fungal strains namely S. commune IBL-01 (SC), P. ostreatus IBL-02 (PO) P. chrysosporium IBL-03 (PC), T. versicolor IBL-04 (TV) and G. lucidum IBL-05 (GL) were used for the decolorization of synthetic dyes effluent. P. ostreatus IBL-02 showed maximum decolorization of synthetic textile effluent, so it was selected for the optimization of experimental factors. Different physico-chemical parameters were optimized using Pleutorus ostreatus IBL-02 (PO), for the maximum de-colorization of synthetic dyes effluent. Under optimum conditions, P. ostreatusIBL-02 (PO) decolorized the synthetic dyes effluent by 92.7%. Effect of various amendments like carbon and nitrogen sources on the decolorization and mineralization of synthetic dyes effluent by Pleutorus ostreatus IBL-02 was also studied. Ligninolytic enzymes at the end of each experiment were studied to find their role in decolorization and mineralization of synthetic dyes effluent. UV-Visible spectral analysis was used to indicate the decolourization of treated dyes effluent sample. A diminution in spectral line height displaying absorption maxima designated decolorization (%) while a move of spectral line to the UV-region depicted the degradation of synthetic dyes effluent.
