Abstract EN
Six fungal isolates belong to Aspergillus niger, Penicillium spp., and Pleurotus osstreatus were used for decolourization activities of some acid and reactive dyes, after they screened for optimum efficiency and the condition for temperature and pH were optimized The results obtained indicated that Pleurotus osstreatus and Aspergillus niger 1 and 2 are more efficient than Penicillium spp., with the two kinds of dyes used.
The results also revealed that, the maximum degradation activities of these isolates for acid dyes was at pH 5 after 9 days incubation period and at pH 5-6, for reactive dyes.
Simulated and actual waste water samples were used in the experiments.
Fungi decolourization of synthetic dyes according to their life state group 1: (living cells) to biodegradation and biosorb dyes.
The major mechanism is biodegradation because they can produce the lignin modifying enzymes, lactose, manganese peroxides (Lip) to mineralize synthetic lignin of dyes.
Group 2: dead cells (Fungal biomass) to adsorb dyes.
