Decolorization of a dye industry effluent by Aspergillus fumigatus XC6

Abstract: The strain Aspergillus fumigatus XC6 isolated from mildewing rice straw was evaluated for its ability to decolorize a dye industry effluent. The strain was capable of decolorizing dyes effluent over a pH range 3.0-8.0 with the dyes as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. The optimum pH was 3.0; however, supplemented with either appropriate nitrogen sources (0.2% NH(4)Cl or (NH(4))(2)SO(4) ) or carbon sources (1.0% sucrose or potato starch), the strain decolorized the effluent completely at the original pH of the … Show more

“…In some cases, substrate diffusion to bacterial cell may hamper its efficiency to decolorize the dye effluent. Aspergillus fumigates is a white rot fungi and much efficient in dye decolorization (Jin et al 2007). The fungal population was much lower in treated effluent which may be due to their death during chemical treatment of the waste water.…”

“…Also, in comparison among the fungal isolates, Aspergillus niger showed a higher percent dye decolourization (48%) than Proteus morganii (44%) and Fusarium compacticum (42%), respectively. Generally, the order of percent dye decolourization among all the isolates is as follows: The efficient use of different Aspergillus species (A. niger, A. foetidus, A. fumigates and A. terreus) for decolourization of different types of dye has been reported (Sumathi and Manju, 2000;Ali et al, 2007;Jin et al, 2007;Andleeb et al, 2010). The results of HPLC analyses (not shown) taken for the untreated and treated samples proved the role of degradation mechanisms in the dye colour removal phenomenon.…”

“…Numerous fungi capable of the decolorization of textile dye effluent have been reported and their characteristics have been reviewed (Fu and Viraraghavan, 2001;Jin et al, 2007;Robinson et al, 2001;Selvam et al, 2003;Shin, 2004;Wesenberg et al, 2003). Decolorization of textile dye effluent by fungi is well known to occur though dye adsorption or biodegradation through an enzyme system, such as laccase, manganese peroxidase, and lignin peroxidase Fu and Viraraghavan, 2001;Robinson et al, 2001;Wesenberg et al, 2003).…”
