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.

Screening and identification of microbes from polluted environment for azodye (Turquoise blue) decolorization

Textile dyes in wastewater pose serious environmental problems, but certain fungi like Penicillium species can break down turquoise blue dye through natural biological processes. Researchers isolated these fungi from polluted soil and water in Ethiopia and tested their ability to remove dye under different conditions like pH and temperature. The best-performing fungi removed up to 90% of the dye, offering a potential low-cost, environmentally friendly alternative to chemical treatment methods for treating textile industry wastewater.

Nano-bioremediation of metal-polluted industrial wastewater using myco-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles derived from Aspergillus niger AUMC 16028

Scientists have developed a green method to clean polluted industrial water using specially grown fungal nanoparticles. These tiny iron particles, made from Aspergillus niger fungus, can effectively remove dangerous heavy metals like copper, zinc, and iron from contaminated water. This eco-friendly approach is cheaper and safer than traditional chemical methods, offering a promising solution for protecting our water resources.
