Characterization of the Enzymatic and Biosorption Processes Involved in the Decolorization of Remazol Brilliant Blue R Dye by Pleurotus ostreatus Pellets

mycolabadmin

This research shows that oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) can effectively remove Remazol Brilliant Blue R dye from contaminated water. The mushroom pellets remove the dye through a combination of absorbing it on their surface and breaking it down with special enzymes called laccases and peroxidases. The study achieved 98.5% dye removal, suggesting this mushroom could be used to treat industrial wastewater from textile factories.

Nicotine Degradation by Trametes versicolor: Insights from Diverse Environmental Stressors and Wastewater Medium

mycolabadmin

This study shows that a common mushroom fungus called Trametes versicolor can effectively break down and remove nicotine from wastewater. The research found that the fungus works best at room temperature and slightly acidic conditions, particularly when grown in wastewater-like media. The findings suggest this fungal approach could become an environmentally friendly way to clean up nicotine pollution in water systems.
