Decolorization of dyes from textile wastewater by Trametes versicolor

abstract

The white rot fungus Trametes versicolor was applied to the decolourisation of three synthetic textile dyes in the presence and absence of glucose. Different initial dye concentrations were tested and approximately 97% clecolourisation was achieved. It was found that fungal metabolism induced by the glucose as well as the pH play an important role in the decolourisation process. This treatment was also applied to a real wastewater from a textile industry-dyeing sector leading to 92% decolourisation.
