Optimization of The Physiochemical Parameters for Enhanced Decolourisation of Congo Red by using Fungal Strains

Sathish . S, Joshua Amarnath . D

Abstract :

In the current study two fungal species are screened from 10 isolates was studied to assess its potential for the decolourisation of an azo dye (Congo red). In this study selected fungal strains, were tested in different culture condition to assess its real potential for bioremediation of dye in effluent. The biodegradation of this dye by these fungus Asperigillus Terreus (KJ522845) and Asperigillus fumigates (KJ522846) shown positive results for the degradation/ decolourisation of the dye. The result shows the optimum parameters for the degradation.
