Overview

Evaluates decolorization of textile dyes in wastewater using fungi, suggesting a sustainable treatment option.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the dye-decolorizing efficiency of particular fungi isolated from industrial wastewater.
  • Isolated fungi from industrial discharge for decolorization studies.
  • Tested various synthetic dyes (MG, RB19, RB5) under alkaline conditions.
  • Assessed enzyme activities and phytotoxicity of decolorized filtrates.
  • Penicillium rubens showed the highest efficiency for malachite green.
  • Aspergillus fumigatus effectively decolorized reactive blue 19 and reactive black 5.
  • Maximum decolorization occurred at pH 9 and 30 °C after 6–7 days.
  • Significant reductions in chemical oxygen demand (up to 63%) and biological oxygen demand (up to 60%) were noted.
