Sorghum-grown fungal biocatalysts for synthetic dye degradation.

The synthetic dye discharge is responsible for nearly one-fifth of the total water pollution from textile industry, which poses both environmental and public health risks. Herein, a solid substrate inoculated with fungi is proposed as an effective and environmentally friendly approach for catalyzing organic dye degradation. was inoculated onto commercially available solid substrates such as sorghum, bran, and husk.
