Optimized production and characterization of red dye from Talaromyces purpureogenus PH7 for application as a textile dye

mycolabadmin

Researchers optimized conditions to produce natural red dye from a fungus called Talaromyces purpureogenus, which could replace harmful synthetic dyes in the textile industry. The dye successfully colored cotton fabrics and resisted fading from washing and sunlight exposure. The fungus also produces beneficial compounds that could improve soil health, making this an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based chemical dyes.

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

mycolabadmin

This research demonstrates how oyster mushroom pellets can effectively remove harmful synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater through a combination of chemical absorption and enzymatic breakdown. The fungus produces specialized enzymes that degrade the complex dye molecules while also physically absorbing dye particles. This biological approach offers a promising, sustainable alternative to traditional chemical wastewater treatment methods used in the textile industry.

Biotechnological production of natural pigments for textile dyeing

mycolabadmin

Scientists developed a new way to create natural pigments from a common fungus that could replace synthetic dyes in textiles. They used leftover materials from cheese and corn processing as cheap nutrients, and even used corncob as a growing surface. The resulting pigments successfully dyed cotton and linen fabrics, offering a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical dyes.
