Bioremediation of Textile Azo Dyes by Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27

The potential of a recently isolated wood-degrading fungus, Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27, for effective decolorization of textile azo dyes was evaluated. Within two days of dye addition, the fungus was able to decolorize 83% of Remazol Tiefschwarz, 86% of Remazol Blue RR and 80% of Supranol Turquoise...

Summary:The potential of a recently isolated wood-degrading fungus, Trichophyton rubrum LSK-27, for effective decolorization of textile azo dyes was evaluated. Within two days of dye addition, the fungus was able to decolorize 83% of Remazol Tiefschwarz, 86% of Remazol Blue RR and 80% of Supranol Turquoise GGL in liquid cultures. The reactive dyes, Remazol Tiefschwarz and Remazol Blue, were removed by fungal biodegradation, while decolorization of the acid dye, Supranol Turquoise GGL, was accomplished mainly by bioadsorption. Therefore the fungus proved to be efficiently capable of both biodegradation and biosorption as the major dye removal mechanisms. The extent of biodegradation was associated with the levels of the extracellular ligninolytic enzymes such as manganese peroxidase and laccase.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
