Decolorization Potential of Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinula edodes and Ganoderma lucidum against Solvaderm Brown MF-GO Textile Dye

Abstract

Biological decolorization of Solvaderm Brown MF-GO was comparatively studied using three different macrofungi strains (Pleurotus ostreatus, Lentinus sajor-caju and Ganoderma lucidum). In the medium; the inceptive concentrations of dye were 250, 500 and 1000 mg/L, respectively. Whole fungi studied decolorized Solvaderm Brown to varying degrees. Fungi strains resulted in the good decolorization at low dye concentration, but mycelia negatively affected from increasing dye concentrations.
