Abstract

In this study the decolorization of a number of commercially important textile dyes by strains of white-rot fungi is reported. Initial screening protocols found two strains of white-rot fungi with high dye decolorizing ability: Coriolus versicolor WR2 and Phanerochaete chrysosoporium CBS 671.71. Decolorization of an artificial textile effluent, and it's component dyes, in the presence of a primary carbon and energy source was examined. The relationship between decolorization and various ligninolytic enzymes in the two isolates was elucidated.
