Title:Bioremediation of Textile Disperse Dyes using White-Rot Fungi Trametes versicolor
Abstract:Disperse dyes, frequently used in textile dyeing processes,present a particular challenge because  of  their  recalcitrant  nature.  With  an  emphasis  on  wastewater  effluent treatment, white-rot fungi Trametes versicolorwereused. The fungus was cultured on different  media  and  optimizedvarious  biochemical  parameters  (temperature,  pH,  inoculum size,  dye  concentration,and  culturing  time).  After  their  biomass,  disperse  Red-I  (DR1)  and disperse Blue-I (DB1),and textile wastewater were biodegraded with the fungi T. versicolor. The growth  of T.  versicoloris  time  taking  but  maximum degradation  by T.  versicolor(0.02  to -0.11 during  3  days)  is  observed.  In  DB1  solutions  and  wastewater,  absorbance  values  started  at different  points.  However, the efficiency  of  fungi  was  found  to  be  more  than  80%.  The potential of degradation of fungi in wastewater treatment can be further maximized to reduce environmental impact.
