Live Biomass of : A Sustainable Method for Decoloration and Detoxification of Dyes in Water.

In this study, white-rot fungus, , collected from an unidentified fallen twig from Pathankot, Punjab, India, was used for biosorption of anionic Congo red and cationic Methylene blue dyes from an aqueous medium. The biosorption efficiency of the live biomass of was investigated to optimize biosorbent dosage, process time, concentrations of dyes, and pH of solutions. The results indicated that is more efficient than other reported bio-adsorbents for Congo red and Methylene blue dyes.
