Optimization of the Decolorization of the Reactive Black 5 by a Laccase-like Active Cell-Free Supernatant from Coriolopsis gallica

mycolabadmin

Textile factories produce large amounts of colored wastewater containing harmful dyes like Reactive Black 5. Researchers optimized an enzyme-based treatment using laccase from a fungus called Coriolopsis gallica to remove these dyes from water. By carefully balancing enzyme concentration, pH, temperature, and a chemical booster called HBT, they achieved 82% dye removal in just 2 hours, offering a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical treatments.

The application of laccase-rich extract of spent mushroom substrates for removing lignin from jute fabric waste: a dual management approach

mycolabadmin

This research shows how leftover mushroom growing material (SMS) can be recycled into a useful enzyme called laccase to make jute fabric softer and lighter by removing tough lignin components. Instead of using harsh chemicals, the scientists used mild conditions and natural enzymes to process jute waste sustainably. From just one bag of mushroom waste, they could treat an area of fabric equivalent to 2000 square meters, making this an economically attractive solution for both mushroom and textile waste management.

In vitro characterization of Trichophyton rubrum biofilm by combined anti-biofilm enzymes

mycolabadmin

Athlete’s foot and nail fungal infections caused by Trichophyton rubrum are difficult to treat because the fungus forms protective biofilms that resist antifungal medications. This research shows that enzymes like cellulase, protease, and amylase can break down these biofilm barriers when used alone or in combination. The combination approach was most effective, suggesting that enzyme-based treatments could become useful additions to current fungal infection therapies.
