Using Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), strains of terrestrial white rot (WRF) and marine fungi (MF) were screened for efficient decolorization. Dye degradation potential of selected strains was studied with chemically different dyes (azo, anthraquinone, heterocyclic, triphenylmethane). Irpex lacteus and Pleurotus ostreatus (WRF) efficiently degraded dyes from all groups whereas less efficient and selective degradations were observed with Dactylospora haliotrepha and Aspergillus ustus (MF). Seawater salinity often reduced decolorization efficiency of WRF but increased decolorization ability of MF. In soil /. lacteus removed 77 % of RBBR used at 150 |ig/g within 6 weeks. The work presents ftingi as suitable candidates to be applied to re-mediation of dye-contaminated water and soil.
