This research aims to evaluate the capability of endophytic fungi for decolorizing the azo dye Disperse Blue 291 and mitigating its ecotoxicological effects.
Screened seven fungal strains for decolorization of DB291 in minimal medium
Selected A. flavus CL07 and A. alternata PL75 for their high decolorization rates
Conducted spectroscopic and enzymatic analyses to understand decolorization mechanisms
Performed ecotoxicity assays using Artemia salina to assess toxicity of decolorized products
A. flavus CL07 achieved 100% decolorization within 48 hours
A. alternata PL75 achieved 100% decolorization within 168 hours
The original DB291 dye showed high toxicity, while decolorized products were non-toxic
Biosorption was the primary method of operation for A. flavus CL07; A. alternata PL75 utilized laccase activity
