Background: Fungi have diverse biotechnological applications in, among others, agriculture, bioenergy generation, or remediation of polluted soil and water. In this context, culture media based on color change in response to degradation of dyes are particularly relevant; but measuring dye decolorisation of fungal strains mainly relies on a visual and semiquantitative classification of color intensity changes. Such a classification is a subjective, time-consuming and difficult to reproduce process.
Results: DecoFungi is the first, at least up to the best of our knowledge, application to automatically characterise dye decolorisation level of fungal strains from images of inoculated plates. In order to deal with this task, DecoFungi employs a deep-learning model, accessible through a user-friendly web interface, with an accuracy of 96.5%.
Conclusions: DecoFungi is an easy to use system for characterising dye decolorisation level of fungal strains from images of inoculated plates.

Article Synopsis
- The paper explores the use of methyl orange reduction as a potential therapeutic technique, highlighting the environmental and health risks of toxic azo dyes.
- It evaluates various degradation methods, emphasizing the effectiveness of enzymatic degradation using azoreductase enzymes under mild conditions, and the enhancement of reduction efficiency through metal nanoparticles like silver and gold.
- The research suggests that these degradation strategies can inform next-generation drug delivery systems, biosensors, and targeted therapies by allowing for selective degradation of harmful cells while promoting environmentally friendly solutions.
Exploring the potential of graphite material in an unplanted electroactive wetland for the remediation of synthetic wastewater containing azo dye.

The current study was conducted to understand the sole role of graphite as a substrate material in a dual-chambered baffled electroactive wetland (EW) in the treatment of Methyl red dye-containing wastewater. The results obtained were compared with conventional gravel-based unplanted dual-chambered constructed wetlands (CW) at a lab scale. The highest dye decolorisation and COD removal efficiency achieved was 92.

The present study validates the impact of nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiONPs) biosynthesized from the brown seaweed Dictyota bartayresiana (DB) and its biological applications. The phytochemicals analyzed in the seaweed extract served as a reducing, capping or stabilizing agent in the formation of nanoparticles. UV visible spectrum of nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized from DB (DB-NiONPs) represented a prominent peak at 392 nm which validates its formation.
