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

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.

Electricity generation and oxidoreductase potential during dye discoloration by laccase-producing Ganoderma gibbosum in fungal fuel cell

Scientists used a special fungus called Ganoderma gibbosum to clean contaminated water and generate electricity at the same time. The fungus produces an enzyme called laccase that breaks down textile dyes while the fuel cell converts the chemical energy into electrical power. This eco-friendly technology could help industries treat wastewater while producing clean energy, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical treatment methods.
