Mycoremediation of anthraquinone dyes from textile industries: a mini-review

mycolabadmin

Textile factories create large amounts of harmful wastewater containing dyes that damage water ecosystems. Scientists have discovered that certain mushroom fungi can naturally break down these toxic dyes using special enzymes. By growing these fungi on support materials, the treatment becomes even more effective and can be reused multiple times, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution for cleaning contaminated water.

Environmental and molecular approach to dye industry waste degradation by the ascomycete fungus Nectriella pironii

mycolabadmin

Researchers found that a specific fungus called Nectriella pironii can effectively break down toxic chemicals from textile industry waste, including harmful dyes and cancer-causing compounds found in landfill leachate. The fungus uses special enzymes to transform these dangerous chemicals into less toxic forms. This discovery offers hope for cleaning up contaminated areas around old textile factories and treating wastewater more effectively and affordably than current methods.

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.
