Abstract:
Phanerochaete chrysosporium, a fungal isolate, has been used to biodegrade and detoxify colours including Malachite green and Crystal violet. Agar overlay, liquid media, and stationary and shaking conditions at 25 °C were the three techniques used for biodegradation. Crystal violet (92%) and malachite green (95%) showed the greatest decolourization in P. chrysosporium. In comparison to a stationary approach, the results from the chosen fungal strains were superior under shaking circumstances. On the seventh day under typical circumstances, a maximum decolourization of 98% was accomplished. The rate of decolourization was tested at various concentrations, and it was discovered that the percentage of decolourization is suppressed as dye effluent concentration rises. The percentage of Seed Germination Study that shows germination whereas uninoculated dyes prevent it even after 6 days is better in treated dye solutions.
