Abstract
The dyeing industry effluent causes severe environmental pollution and threatens the native flora and fauna. The current study aimed to analyze the physicochemical parameters of dyeing industry wastewater collected in different sites (K1, E2, S3, T4, and V5), as well as the metal tolerance and decolourisation ability of Aspergillus flavus. Furthermore, the optimal biomass quantity and temperatures required for efficient bioremediation were investigated. Approximately five dyeing industry wastewater samples (K1, E2, S3, T4, and V5) were collected from various sampling stations, and the majority of the physical and chemical characteristics were discovered to be above the permissible limits. A. flavus demonstrated outstanding metal resistance to As, Cu, Cr, Zn, Hg, Pb, Ni, and Cd on Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) plates at concentrations of up to 500 g mL-1. At 4 g L-1 concentrations, A. flavus biomass decolorized up to 11.2-46.5%. Furthermore, 35°C was found to be the optimal temperature for efficient decolourisation of A. flavus biomass. The toxicity of 35°C-treated wastewater on V. mungo and prawn larvae was significantly reduced. These findings indicate that the biomass of A. flavus can be used to decolorize dyeing industry wastewater.

Abstract
The suggested nonthermal plasma has been employed for organic pollutants remediation and bacterial inactivation with catalyst (CuFe2O4) via reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, along with catalytic density functional theory processing. The plasma generated species O2- (g.), OH• (g.), H2O2 (aq.), and NOx (aq.) are used for the remediation of organic pollutants, such as reactive black5 and bromocresol green with catalytic oxidative and reductive transformation, like as from Fe2+ (aq.) to Fe3+ (aq.) and from Cu2+ (aq.) to Cu1+ (aq.), respectively. In the presence of plasma with CuFe2O4, the pollutants remediation enhanced more, which is 95 ± 0.78%, rather than only plasma. After removal of pollutants, the plasma processing catalyzed by CuFe2O4 was highly inactivated the E. coli. bacterial growth, which inhibition rate is 100 ± 0.87% and 100 ± 0.69% for reactive black5 and bromocresol green, rather than only plasma, such as 86.41 ± 0.91% and 73.91 ± 0.56%, respectively. The CuFe2O4 generated super oxides (O2- (aq.)) and hydroxides (H+(aq.), OH⦁(aq.), and OOH⦁(aq.)) are rapidly react with bacteria to damage the bacterial cell membrane via catalytic redox process. However, the plasma generated species were react with catalyst to produce the e- charge densities under the redox transformation of spin orientation (±) 0.58 e-, which is 0.007, 0.009, and 0.005 electrons per cubic Angstrom, for CuFe2O4, H2O2(aq.), and NOx(aq.). The plasma generated species concentrations were quantified in the deionized water, which are H2O2(aq.) (145 ± 0.91 μM) and NOx(aq.) (112 ± 0.56 μM), respectively. After eradication of pollutants, the water pH was observed, which is near to the neutral at 6.57 ± 0.27 under the catalytic binary redox process. Moreover, the catalytic stability examined via reusability test, which were four cycles for reactive black5 and three cycles for bromocresol green. Furthermore, the CuFe2O4 nanoparticles conducted several characterizations to analyze the various properties, such as crystal, surface, functional, and elemental.

Abstract
Biological methods are widely used to treat dye waste, particularly methyl orange (MO) dye. The importance of MO degradation stems from its classification as a toxic dye. Within the scope of this research, successful bio-decolorization of MO was achieved through the use of Ralstonia pickettii bacteria immobilized in a PVA-alginate-hectorite matrix (BHec-RP). The optimum conditions for the degradation were observed at a composition of PVA (10%), hectorite (1%), static incubation, 40 °C, and pH 7. Subsequently, the adsorption kinetics of BHec-RP (dead cells) as well as the degradation kinetics of BHec-RP (live cells) and MO using free R. pickettii cells were evaluated. The decolorization of MO using BHec-RP (dead cells) is an adsorption process following pseudo-first-order kinetics (0.6918 mg g-1 beads) and occurs in a monolayer or physical process. Meanwhile, the adoption of BHec-RP (live cells) and free R. pickettii cells shows a degradation process under pseudo-first-order kinetics, with the highest rates at an initial MO concentration of 50 mg L-1 being 0.025 mg L-1 h-1 and 0.015 mg L-1 h-1, respectively. These results show that the immobilization system is superior compared to free R. pickettii cells. Furthermore, the degradation process shows the inclusion of several enzymes, such as azoreductase, NADH-DCIP reductase, and laccase, presumed to be included in the fragmentation of molecules. This results in five fragments based on LC-QTOF/MS analysis, with m/z values of 267.12; 189.09; 179.07; 169.09; and 165.05.

Abstract
Persistent environmental colored compounds, resistant to biodegradation, accumulate and harm eco-systems. Developing effective methods to break down these pollutants is crucial. This study introduces Ag-MIL-101 (Ag-MIL-101) as a composite and reusable catalyst that efficiently degrades specific colored organic pollutants (COPs) like Methylene blue (MB), 4-Nitrophenol (4-NP), and 4-Nitroaniline (4-NA) using sodium borohydride at room temperature. The MIL-101 was synthesized using Terephthalic acid (TPA) derived from the degradation of Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) plastic waste, with the assistance of zinc chloride. To further investigation, the kinetics of degradation reaction was studied under optimized conditions in the presence of Ag-MIL-101 as catalyst. Our results demonstrated the remarkable efficiency of the degradation process, with over 93% degradation achieved within just 8 min. The catalyst was characterized using FTIR, XRD, FESEM, and TEM. In this study, the average particle size of Ag-MIL-101 was determined using SEM and XRD analysis. These methods allow us to accurately and precisely determine the particle size. We determined the reaction rate constants for the degradation of each COP using a pseudo first-order kinetic equation, with values of 0.585, 0.597 and 0.302 min-1 for MB, 4-NP, and 4-NA, respectively. We also evaluated the recyclability of the catalyst and found that it could be reused for up to three cycles with only a slight decrease in efficiency (10-15%). Overall, our findings highlight the promising application of Ag-MIL-101 as an effective catalyst for the degradation of COPs, emphasizing the importance of optimizing reaction conditions to achieve enhanced efficiency.

Contamination of textile dyes in aquatic environment: Adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystem and human health, and its management using bioremediation. JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 353:120103. [PMID: 38280248 DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.120103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 01/11/2024] [Indexed: 01/29/2024]
Abstract
Textile dyes are the burgeoning environmental contaminants across the world. They might be directly disposed of from textile industries into the aquatic bodies, which act as the direct source for the entire ecosystem, ultimately impacting the human beings. Hence, it is essential to dissect the potential adverse outcomes of textile dye exposure on aquatic plants, aquatic fauna, terrestrial entities, and humans. Analysis of appropriate literature has revealed that textile dye effluents could affect the aquatic biota by disrupting their growth and reproduction. Various aquatic organisms are targeted by textile dye effluents. In such organisms, these chemicals affect their development, behavior, and induce oxidative stress. General populations of humans are exposed to textile dyes via the food chain and drinking contaminated water. In humans, textile dyes are biotransformed into electrophilic intermediates and aromatic amines by the enzymes of the cytochrome family. Textile dyes and their biotransformed products form the DNA and protein adducts at sub-cellular moiety. Moreover, these compounds catalyze the production of free radicals and oxidative stress, and trigger the apoptotic cascades to produce lesions in multiple organs. In addition, textile dyes modulate epigenetic factors like DNA methyltransferase and histone deacetylase to promote carcinogenesis. Several bioremediation approaches involving algae, fungi, bacteria, biomembrane filtration techniques, etc., have been tested and some other hybrid systems are currently under investigation to treat textile dye effluents. However, many such approaches are at the trial stage and require further research to develop more efficient, cost-effective, and easy-to-handle techniques.

Abstract
Pollution is a global menace that poses harmful effects on all the living ecosystems and to the Earth. As years pass by, the available and the looming rate of pollutants increases at a faster rate. Although many treatments and processing strategies are waged for treating such pollutants, the by-products and the wastes or drain off generated by these treatments further engages in the emission of hazardous waste. Innovative and long-lasting solutions are required to address the urgent global issue of hazardous pollutant remediation from contaminated environments. Myco-remediation is a top-down green and eco-friendly tool for pollution management. It is a cost-effective and safer practice of converting pernicious substances into non-toxic forms by the use of fungi. But these pollutants can be transformed into useable products along with multiple benefits for the environment such as sequestration of carbon emissions and also to generate high valuable bioactive materials that fits as a sustainable economic model. The current study has examined the possible applications of fungi in biorefineries and their critical role in the transformation and detoxification of pollutants. The paper offers important insights into using fungal bioremediation for both economically and environmentally sound solutions in the domain of biorefinery applications by combining recent research findings.

Abstract
Nano silver (Ag) was metallic Ag monomers with particle size to the nanoscale. Photocatalyst was a kind of semiconductor material with photocatalytic function. Loading precious metal Ag onto semiconductor surfaces by microwave, laser-induced, solvent-thermal and hydrothermal methods could capture photogenerated electrons, reduced the compounding rate of holes and photogenerated electrons during the photocatalytic process, thereby improving the electron transfer efficiency of photocatalysis and enhancing the absorption of visible light by silver nanoparticles through the plasma resonance effect. The highly reactive free radicals produced by photocatalysts were used in the organic degradation process to degrade organic matter into inorganic matter and was a faster, more efficient and less polluting method of pollutant degradation, which has attracted a lot of attention from researchers. This review discussed the modification of various types of photocatalysts by nano Ag through different methods. The photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotics and persistent organic pollutants by different modified composites was also analyzed. This review covered the several ways and means in which nano Ag has modified diverse photocatalytic materials as well as the photocatalytic degradation of dyes, antibiotics and persistent organic pollutants. This review identified the drawbacks of the existing nano Ag-modified photocatalytic materials, including their low yield and lack of recyclability, and it also offered suggestions for potential future directions for their improvement. The purpose of this review was to further research on the technology of nano Ag-modified photocatalytic materials and to encourage the creation of new modified photocatalytic nanomaterials for the treatment of organic pollutant degradation.

Abstract
Amazonian strains of Cyathus spp. and Geastrum spp. were studied for the ability to discolor the trypan blue azo dye and reduce its toxicity. Discoloration of trypan blue dye (0.05%) was evaluated in solid and aqueous medium over different periods. The reduction of dye toxicity after treatment was assessed by seed germination and the development of lettuce seedlings (Lactuca sativa L.) and toxicity test in Artemia salina (L.) larvae. All evaluated strains showed the potential to reduce the color intensity of trypan blue dye. Cyathus strains reached 96% discoloration, and C. albinus and C. limbatus also reduced dye toxicity. Geastrum strains showed a high efficiency degree in color reduction, reaching 98% discoloration, however, the by-products generated during the process presented toxicity and require further investigation. For the first time, Amazonian strains of gasteroid fungi degrading trypan blue are reported, some even reducing its toxicity. Thus, making them promising sources of enzymes of interest to bioremediation scenarios involving synthetic dyes.

Abstract
In this work, it is presented a first approach of a mathematical and kinetic analysis for improving the decoloration and further degradation process of an azo dye named acid red 27 (AR27), by means of a novel microbial consortium formed by the fungus Trametes versicolor and the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. A multivariate analysis was carried out by simulating scenarios with different operating conditions and developing a specific mathematical model based on kinetic equations describing all stages of the biological process, from microbial growth and substrate consuming to decoloration and degradation of intermediate compounds. Additionally, a sensitivity analysis was performed by using a factorial design and the Response Surface Method (RSM), for determining individual and interactive effects of variables like, initial glucose concentration, initial dye concentration and the moment in time for bacterial inoculation, on response variables assessed in terms of the minimum time for: full decoloration of AR27 (R1 = 2.375 days); maximum production of aromatic metabolites (R2 = 1.575 days); and full depletion of aromatic metabolites (R3 = 12.9 days). Using RSM the following conditions improved the biological process, being: an initial glucose concentration of 20 g l-1, an initial AR27 concentration of 0.2 g l-1 and an inoculation moment in time of P. putida at day 1. The mathematical model is a feasible tool for describing AR27 decoloration and its further degradation by the microbial consortium of T. versicolor and P. putida, this model will also work as a mathematical basis for designing novel bio-reaction systems than can operate with the same principle of the described consortium.

[PMID: 37414296 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2023.139416] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2023] [Revised: 06/26/2023] [Accepted: 07/02/2023] [Indexed: 07/08/2023]
Abstract
Anaerobic digestion piggery effluent (ADPE) shows high chromaticity and ammonium levels, severely inhibiting algal growth. Fungal pretreatment has great potential for decolorization and nutrient removal from wastewater, which coupled with microalgal cultivation may be a reliable strategy for sustainable ADPE resource utilization. In this study, we selected and identified two locally isolated eco-friendly fungal strains for ADPE pretreatment, and fungal culture conditions were optimized for decolorization and ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) removal. Subsequently, the underlying mechanisms of fungal decolorization and nitrogen removal were investigated, and the feasibility of using pretreated ADPE for algal cultivation was explored. The results showed that two fungal strains were identified as Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma afroharzianum, respectively, presenting good growth and decolorization performance for ADPE pretreatment. The optimized culture conditions were as follows: 20% ADPE, 8 g L-1 glucose, initial pH 6, 160 rpm, 25-30 °C, and 0.15 g L-1 initial dry-weight. ADPE decolorization was mainly caused by fungal biodegradation of color-related humic substances through manganese peroxidase secretion. The removed nitrogen was completely converted into fungal biomass as nitrogen assimilated, ca. 90% of which was attributed to NH4+-N removal. The pretreated ADPE significantly improved algal growth and nutrient removal, demonstrating the feasibility of developing an eco-friendly fungi-based pretreatment technology.

Abstract
Aquatic pollution negatively affects water bodies, marine ecosystems, public health, and economy. Restoration of contaminated habitats has attracted global interest since protecting the health of marine ecosystems is crucial. Bioremediation is a cost-effective and eco-friendly way of transforming hazardous, resistant contaminants into environmentally benign products using diverse biological treatments. Because of their robust morphology and broad metabolic capabilities, fungi play an important role in bioremediation. This review summarizes the features employed by aquatic fungi for detoxification and subsequent bioremediation of different toxic and recalcitrant compounds in aquatic ecosystems. It also details how mycoremediation may convert chemically-suspended matters, microbial, nutritional, and oxygen-depleting aquatic contaminants into ecologically less hazardous products using multiple modes of action. Mycoremediation can also be considered in future research studies on aquatic, including marine, ecosystems as a possible tool for sustainable management, providing a foundation for selecting and utilizing fungi either independently or in microbial consortia.

A Potentially Practicable Halotolerant Yeast Meyerozyma guilliermondii A4 for Decolorizing and Detoxifying Azo Dyes and Its Possible Halotolerance Mechanisms. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:851. [PMID: 37623622 PMCID: PMC10456123 DOI: 10.3390/jof9080851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2023] [Revised: 08/09/2023] [Accepted: 08/14/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
In this study, a halotolerant yeast that is capable of efficiently decolorizing and detoxifying azo dyes was isolated, identified and characterized for coping with the treatment of azo-dye-containing wastewaters. A characterization of the yeast, including the optimization of its metabolism and growth conditions, its detoxification effectiveness and the degradation pathway of the target azo dye, as well as a determination of the key activities of the enzyme, was performed. Finally, the possible halotolerance mechanisms of the yeast were proposed through a comparative transcriptome analysis. The results show that a halotolerant yeast, A4, which could decolorize various azo dyes, was isolated from a marine environment and was identified as Meyerozyma guilliermondii. Its optimal conditions for dye decolorization were ≥1.0 g/L of sucrose, ≥0.2 g/L of (NH4)2SO4, 0.06 g/L of yeast extract, pH 6.0, a temperature of 35 °C and a rotation speed of ≥160 rpm. The yeast, A4, degraded and detoxified ARB through a series of steps, relying on the key enzymes that might be involved in the degradation of azo dye and aromatic compounds. The halotolerance of the yeast, A4, was mainly related to the regulation of the cell wall components and the excessive uptake of Na+/K+ and/or compatible organic solutes into the cells under different salinity conditions. The up-regulation of genes encoding Ca2+-ATPase and casein kinase II as well as the enrichment of KEGG pathways associated with proteasome and ribosome might also be responsible for its halotolerance.

Abstract
The direct or indirect discharge of organic pollutants causes serious environmental problems and endangers human health. The high electron-hole recombination rate greatly limits the catalytic efficiency of traditional TiO2-based catalysts. Therefore, starting from low-cost activated carbon (AC), a photocatalyst (F-Si-TiO2/AC) comprising fluorine (F)- and silicon (Si)-doped TiO2 loaded on AC has been developed. F-Si-TiO2/AC has a porous structure. TiO2 nanoparticles were uniformly fixed on the surface or pores of AC, producing many catalytic sites. The band gap of F-Si-TiO2/AC is only 2.7 eV. In addition, F-Si-TiO2/AC exhibits an excellent adsorption capacity toward methyl orange (MO) (57%) in the dark after 60 min. Under the optimal preparation conditions, F-Si-TiO2/AC showed a significant photodegradation performance toward MO, reaching 97.7% after irradiation with visible light for 70 min. Even under the action of different anions and cations, its degradation efficiency is the lowest, at 64.0%, which has good prospects for practical application. At the same time, F-Si-TiO2/AC has long-term, stable, practical application potential and can be easily recovered from the solution. Therefore, this work provides new insights for the fabrication of low-cost, porous, activated, carbon-based photocatalysts, which can be used as high-performance photocatalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants.

Abstract
The textile industry produces harmful effluents that are discharged into the environment, damaging the aquatic and other ecosystems. A yeast-based solution for decolorization of textile industrial wastewater was produced and evaluated. Three yeast strains, Candida parapsilosis (HOMOGS20B), Yarrowia lipolytica (HOMOGST27AB) and Candida pseudoglaebosa (LIIIS36B), isolated from a textile wastewater treatment plant and previously selected for their dye decolorization capacity, were freeze-dried. Additionally, Yarrowia lipolytica (HOMOGST27AB) was also spray-dried. Skim milk powder and maltodextrin were used as cell protectors, and the freeze-dried products were stored at cold (4 °C) and room temperature for 210 days. The viability of the yeast cells and their decolorization capacity over time were assessed. Dried yeast cells maintained their viability, and decolorization capacity for at least 90 days of storage after spray- and freeze-drying with both cell-protecting agents. The dried yeast-based solution for decolorizing textile industrial wastewater combines stability, efficiency, and convenience of production for application in real industrial facilities.

Abstract
This research was performed to assess the physicochemical properties of textile effluents collected from different sampling points (industrial park, Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India) and also evaluate the multiple metal tolerance efficiency of pre-isolated Aspergillus flavus. Moreover, their textile effluent decolourization potential was investigated and quantity and temperature required for effective bioremediation was optimized. About 5 textile effluent samples (S0, S1, S2, S3, and S4) were collected from various sampling points and noted that certain physicochemical properties (pH: 9.64 ± 0.38, Turbidity: 18.39 ± 1.4 NTU, Cl-: 3185.38 ± 15.8 mg L-1, BOD: 82.52 ± 6.9 mg L-1, COD: 342.28 ± 8.9 mg L-1, Ni: 74.21 ± 4.31 mg L-1, Cr: 48.52 ± 18.34 mg L-1, Cd: 34.85 ± 1.2 mg L-1, Zn: 25.52 ± 2.4 mg L-1, Pb: 11.25 ± 1.5 mg L-1, Hg: 1.8 ± 0.05 mg L-1, and As: 7.1 ± 0.41 mg L-1) were beyond the permissible limits. The A. flavus, showed remarkable metal tolerance to Pb, As, Cr, Ni, Cu, Cd, Hg, and Zn on PDA plates with elevated dosage up to 1000 μg mL-1. The optimal dosage required for effective decolourization was found as 3 g (48.2%) and compare to dead biomass (42.1%) of A. flavus, the viable biomass showed remarkable decolourization activity on textile effluents in a short duration of treatment process. The optimal temperature for effective decolourization by viable biomass was found at 32 ᵒC. The toxic effects of S4 samples treated at 32 ᵒC on O. sativa as well as brine shrimp larvae were significantly reduced. These findings show that pre-isolated A. flavus viable biomass can be used to decolorize metal-enriched textile effluent. Furthermore, the effectiveness of their metals remediation should be investigated using ex-situ and ex-vivo approaches.

Abstract
Bio-degradation is the most affordable method of azo dye decontamination, while its drawbacks such as aromatic amines accumulation and low degradation efficiency must be overcome. In this study, a novel mechanism of azo dye degradation by a fungus was discovered. At a concentration of 400 mg/L, the decolorization efficiency of Acid Red 73 (AR73) by Aspergillus tabacinus LZ-M was 90.28%. Metabolite analysis and transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed a self-redox process of AR73 degradation, where the electrons generated in carbon oxidation were transferred to the reduction of -C-N = and -NN. The metabolites, 2-hydroxynaphthalene and N-phenylnitrous amide were mineralized into CO2 through catechol pathway and a glycolytic process. Furthermore, the mineralization ratio of dye was computed to be 31.8% by the carbon balance and electron balance. By using comparative transcriptome, a novel decoloring enzyme Ord95 was discovered in unknown genes through gene cloning. It hydrolyzed AR73 into 2-hydroxynaphthalene and N-phenylnitrous amide, containing a glutathione S-transferase domain with three arginines as key active sites. Here the new mechanism of azo dye degradation was discovered with identification of a novel enzyme in Aspergillus tabacinus LZ-M.

Abstract
The synthetic dye discharge is responsible for nearly one-fifth of the total water pollution from textile industry, which poses both environmental and public health risks. Herein, a solid substrate inoculated with fungi is proposed as an effective and environmentally friendly approach for catalyzing organic dye degradation. Pleurotus ostreatus was inoculated onto commercially available solid substrates such as sorghum, bran, and husk. Among these, P. ostreatus grown on sorghum (PO-SORG) produced the highest enzyme activity and was further tested for its dye biodegradation ability. Four dye compounds, Reactive Blue 19 (RB-19), Indigo Carmine, Acid Orange 7, and Acid Red 1 were degraded by PO-SORG with removal efficiencies of 93%, 95%, 95%, and 78%, respectively. Under more industrially relevant conditions, PO-SORG successfully degraded dyes in synthetic wastewater and in samples collected from a local textile factory, which reveals its potential for practical usage. Various biotransformation intermediates and end-products were identified for each dye. PO-SORG exhibited high stability even under relatively extreme temperatures and pH conditions. Over 85% removal of RB-19 was achieved after three consecutive batch cycles, demonstrating reusability of this approach. Altogether, PO-SORG demonstrated outstanding reusability and sustainability and offers considerable potential for treating wastewater streams containing synthetic organic dyes.

[PMID: 36565869 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.161064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2022] [Revised: 12/13/2022] [Accepted: 12/16/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
Biological denitrification was considered an efficient and environmentally friendly way to remove the nitrogen in the water body. However, biological denitrification showed poor nitrogen removal performance due to the lack of electron donors in the low C/N water. In this study, three novel aerobic denitrifying fungi (Trichoderma sp., Penicillium sp., and Fusarium sp.) were isolated and enhanced the performance of aerobic denitrification of fungi in low C/N water bodies combined with polylactic acid/polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate (PLA/PBAT). In this work, the aerobic denitrifying fungi seed were added to denitrifying liquid medium and mixed with PLA/PBAT. The result showed that Trichoderma sp., Penicillium sp., and Fusarium sp. could reduce 89.93 %, 89.20 %, and 87.76 % nitrate. Meanwhile, the nitrate removal efficiency adding PLA/PBAT exceeded 1.40, 1.68, and 1.46 times that of none. The results of material characterization suggested that aerobic denitrifying fungi have different abilities to secrete proteases or lipases to catalyze ester bonds in PLA/PBAT and utilize it as nutrients in denitrification, especially in Penicillium brasiliensis D6. Besides, the electron transport system activity and the intracellular ATP concentration were increased significantly after adding PLA/PBAT, especially in Penicillium brasiliensis D6. Finally, the highest removal efficiency of total nitrogen in landscape water by fungi combined with PLA/PBAT was >80 %. The findings of this work provide new insight into the possibility of nitrogen removal by fungi in low C/N and the recycling of degradable resources.

Abstract
This article aimed to compare the degradation efficiencies of different reactants applicable for the oxidative or reductive degradation of a chlorinated anionic azo dye, Mordant Blue 9 (MB9). In this article, the broadly applied Fenton oxidation process was optimized for the oxidative treatment of MB9, and the obtained results were compared with other innovative chemical reduction methods. In the reductive degradation of MB9, we compared the efficiencies of different reductive agents such as Fe0 (ZVI), Al0, the Raney Al-Ni alloy, NaBH4, NaBH4/Na2S2O5, and other combinations of these reductants. The reductive methods aimed to reduce the azo bond together with the bound chlorine in the structure of MB9. The dechlorination of MB9 produces non-chlorinated aminophenols, which are more easily biodegradable in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) compared to their corresponding chlorinated aromatic compounds. The efficiencies of both the oxidative and reductive degradation processes were monitored by visible spectroscopy and determined based on the chemical oxygen demand (COD). The hydrodechlorination of MB9 to non-chlorinated products was expressed using the measurement of adsorbable organically bound halogens (AOXs) and controlled by LC–MS analyses. Optimally, 28 mol of H2SO4, 120 mol of H2O2, and 4 mol of FeSO4 should be applied per one mol of dissolved MB9 dye for a practically complete oxidative degradation after 20 h of action. On the other hand, the application of the Al-Ni alloy/NaOH (100 mol of Al in the Al-Ni alloy + 100 mol of NaOH per one mol of MB9) proceeded smoothly and seven-times faster than the Fenton reaction, consumed similar quantities of reagents, and produced dechlorinated aminophenols. The cost of the Al-Ni alloy/NaOH-based method could be decreased significantly by applying a pretreatment with Al0/NaOH and a subsequent hydrodechlorination using smaller Al-Ni alloy doses. The homogeneous reduction accompanied by HDC using in situ produced Na2S2O4 (by the action of NaBH4/Na2S2O5) was an effective, rapid, and simple treatment method. This reductive system consumed quantities of reagents that are almost twice as low (66 mol of NaBH4 + 66 mol of Na2S2O5 + 18 mol of H2SO4 per one mol of MB9) in comparison with the other oxidative/reductive systems and allowed the effective and fast degradation of MB9 accompanied by the effective removal of AOX. A comparison of the oxidative and reductive methods for chlorinated acid azo dye MB9 degradation showed that an innovative combination of reduction methods offers a smooth, simple, and efficient degradation and hydrodehalogenation of chlorinated textile MB9 dye.

Abstract
The extensive use of azo dyes by the global textile industry induces significant environmental and human health hazards, which makes efficient remediation crucial but also challenging. Improving dye removal efficiency will benefit the development of bioremediation techniques for textile effluents. In this study, an efficient system for azo dye (Direct Red 5B, DR5B) biodecolorization is reported, which uses the white-rot fungus Ganoderma lucidum EN2 and alkali lignin. This study suggests that the decolorization of DR5B could be effectively enhanced (from 40.34% to 95.16%) within 48 h in the presence of alkali lignin. The dye adsorption test further confirmed that the alkali-lignin-enhanced decolorization of DR5B was essentially due to biodegradation rather than physical adsorption, evaluating the role of alkali lignin in the dye biodegradation system. Moreover, the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis and DR5B decolorization experiments also indicated that alkali lignin carried an excellent potential for promoting dye decolorization and displayed a significant role in improving the activity of lignin-modifying enzymes. This was mainly because of the laccase-mediator system, which was established by the induced laccase activity and lignin-derived small aromatic compounds.

Abstract
Fungal abetted processes are among the finest approaches for the transformation or degradation and decolorization of dyes in effluents. In this piece of research; biodegradation and metabolic pathways of two toxic dyes Congo Red (CR) and Reactive black 5 (RB5) by two strains of Aspergillus sp. fungus in batch experiments has been investigated. Morphological characteristics of the isolates were observed with both light and electron microscopies. Based on molecular characterization the isolates were identified as Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus niger. The degradation was also optimized via. operational parameters such as pH, temperature, incubation time, inoculums size, dye concentration, carbon sources and nitrogen sources. Degradation measurements revealed that the isolates effectively degraded 90% and 96% of CR and RB5 respectively. Metabolites were identified with Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LCMS) and degradation pathways of the dyes were proposed. Toxicity assay Phaseolus mungo seeds showed that pure CR and RB5 dyes exhibits significant toxicity whereas fungal treated dye solution resulted in an abatement of the toxicity and cell viability was increased. The results stipulated in this article clearly showed the effectiveness of the isolates on detoxification of CR and RB5 dyes.

Abstract
An innovative design of microbial electrolytic reactor (MER) coupled with Ipomoea aquaticaForsk. plant microbial fuel cell (IAF-PMFC) was developed for azo dye wastewater treatment and electricity generation. This study aims to assess the sequential degradation of azo dye and the feasibility of energy self-sufficiency in the MER/IAF-PMFC system. The decomposition of azo dye into aromatic amines and dye decolorization occurred in the MER at high hydraulic loading of 0.28 m3/(m2·d), while dye intermediates were mainly mineralized in the IAF-PMFC at low hydraulic loading of 0.06 m3/(m2·d). The final decolorization efficiency and COD removal of the combined system reached 99.64% and 92.06% respectively, even at influent dye concentration of 1000 mg/L. The effects of open/closed circuit conditions, presence/absence of aquatic plant and different cathode areas on the performance of the IAF-PMFC for treating the effluent of the MER were systematically tested, and the results showed that closed-circuit condition, plant involvement and larger cathode area were more beneficial to decolorization, detoxification and mineralization of dye wastewater, bioelectricity output, plant growth and photosynthetic rate. The power consumption by the MER was 0.0163 kWh/m3 of dye wastewater, while the highest power generation of the IAF-PMFC reached 0.0183 kWh/m3. The current efficiency of the MER for dye decolorization was as high as 942.83%, while the maximum coulombic efficiency of the IAF-PMFC for intermediates metabolism was only 6.30%, which still had much space of bioelectricity generation promotion. The MER/IAF-PMFC technology can simultaneously realize refractory wastewater treatment and balance of electricity production and consumption.

Abstract
Chitin, a naturally abundant mucopolysaccharide, is the supporting material of crustaceans, insects, and etc. Chitin and its main derivative chitosan have various applications in medicine, pharmacy, biotechnology, environment, and food engineering because of their nontoxicity, biodegradability, biocompatibility, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. Here, research was conducted on the removal of Acid Orange 12, which is among the most used azo dyes in textiles, from aqueous solutions using shrimp chitin, a polymer. To determine the most suitable conditions, different parameters (pH degrees, amount of chitin, amount of dye, contact time) were studied. Chitin was determined to be the most efficient in removing Acid Orange 12 using pH 5 conditions. The adsorption of dye onto chitin followed the Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

Abstract
Synthetic aromatic compounds consisting of various functional groups are known as dyes. These colored compounds are often discharged in effluents, and they are very dangerous to aquatic life. Basically, the dye industry started by using natural plant and insect sources, and then suddenly turned into artificial manufacturing. Natural equilibrium of our environment gets changed by the reduction in photosynthetic activity due to the dyes. In China 900,000 tons of all kinds of dyes are usually produced, which are used in many industries like food, textile, food, paper and leather. Untreated wastewater contaminates aquatic bodies by causing eutrophication, change in water color, oxygen depletion which affect aquatic organisms to a great extent. Dye wastewater is now the key environmental pollution form. In recent eras an extensive study line has been developed to explore the dye decolorization and biodegradation under both aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions. In this review, the chemistry, toxicity and microbial biodegradation/decolorization are presented. Some recent studies along with the new techniques and methodologies of remediating the dye pollution are also discussed to provide the bases of their handling. Overall, efficient and high biodegradation potential make microbes an impending foundation for green chemistry to eradicate toxic dyes from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
We assess the adsorption capacity of bamboo and calabash biochar (BB and CB). Using 10-50 mg/L Reactive Violet 5 Azo dye (V5R) adsorbate, the kinetics, and adsorption isotherms are investigated. We pyrolyzed the bamboo, and calabash biomass at 500 °C, washed, and oven dried at 120 °C for 48 h. The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method indicates that the BB and CB average pore diameters are 21.1 nm and 26.5 nm, with specific surface areas of 174.67 m2/g and 44.78 m2/g, respectively. The SEM reveals a larger granular shape of the CB having pinholes on the surface, but the BB exhibited interconnected structures like a mesh. The FTIR shows C=C, C=O, O-H, and C-O-C as the predominant functional groups on both BB and CB. The adsorption of V5R on BB and CB follows pseudo-second-order kinetics and favors Langmuir isotherm with maximum adsorption capacities of 5.106 mg/g, and 0.010 mg/g, respectively. The BB adsorbs 70.9-96% V5R, whilst CB adsorbs 0.1-0.2 % only. The results suggest that bamboo biochar has the potential to eliminate 70.9-96% of 10-50 mg/L V5R from an aqueous solution, hence suitable for removing V5R. In this study, we have also presented a prototype expected to eliminate 91.6%-99.8% of the V5R from an aqueous solution.

Abstract
Microbial fuel cells are biochemical factories which besides recycling wastewater are electricity generators, if their low power density can be scaled up. This also adds up to work on many factors responsible to increase the cost of running a microbial fuel cell. As a result, the first step is to use environment friendly dead organic algae biomass or even living algae cells in a microbial fuel cell, also referred to as microalgal microbial fuel cells. This can be a techno-economic aspect not only for treating textile wastewater but also an economical way of obtaining value added products and bioelectricity from microalgae. Besides treating wastewater, microalgae in its either form plays an essential role in treating dyes present in wastewater which essentially include azo dyes rich in synthetic ions and heavy metals. Microalgae require these metals as part of their metabolism and hence consume them throughout the integration process in a microbial fuel cell. In this review a detail plan is laid to discuss the treatment of industrial effluents (rich in toxic dyes) employing microbial fuel cells. Efforts have been made by researchers to treat dyes using microbial fuel cell alone or in combination with catalysts, nanomaterials and microalgae have also been included. This review therefore discusses impact of microbial fuel cells in treating wastewater rich in textile dyes its limitations and future aspects.

Abstract
The effluents released from textile industries mainly consist of dyes, metals and other pollutants. Dyes often are discharged in wastewater streams causing adverse effect on the environment. To eliminate these harmful dyes, various techniques are emerging out of which nanotechnology is the most reliable and safer. Nanotechnology offers convincing applications in case of environmental and economic concerns. The bio-synthesis of nanoparticles has several advantages over conventional methods and approach towards environment concern as well. Biological method of nanoparticles synthesis is concluded to be the most promising and efficient in action. Bio-synthesised nanoparticles could be used for treatment and decolourisation of dyes in an efficient manner. This review comprises the study of number of bio-synthesised nanoparticles utilised for degradation of various dyes present as pollutants in wastewater. Bio-synthesised nanoparticles such as gold, silver, iron, cobalt, zinc, titanium and molybdenum used for degradation of various dyes have been discussed in this review.

Abstract
In this paper, the optimal preparative conditions (current density, deposition temperature, calcination temperature) for the original electrochemical synthesis of ZnO-Zn coating on aluminum foil support (ZnAF) were examined and determined the application for the removal of methyl orange (MO). Optimal application conditions for removing MO (volume and concentration of a treated solution) were also determined. In the following, four immobilized ZnO/Fe2O3 photocatalysts with different molar ratios of Zn to Fe (0.42, 0.84, 1.68, and 3.36) were synthesized via the chemical precipitation method on optimized electrochemically synthesized ZnAF support. Characterization studies of synthesized materials included SEM-EDS and Raman scattering analyses. The efficiency of these catalysts for MO removal in the presence/absence of simulated solar radiation (SSR) was investigated. The adsorption isotherms were investigated, and the results show that the adsorption data were best fitted with the Freundlich adsorption isotherm model. Assessment of the thermodynamic parameters showed that although the adsorption process was weakly endothermic over the range of temperatures studied, the relatively high entropy change gave an overall negative change in Gibbs free energy making the processes spontaneous. In the presence of SSR, the optimal molar ratio of Zn to Fe was determined to be 1.68. The possibility of potential reusing the catalyst was examined six times in a row. The possibility for multiple uses of suspension, which is used for immobilization, was also examined. It was also determined that the application of the 1.68Zn/Fe/ZnAF/H2O2/SSR system after the dye removal generates hydrogen at a rate of 186.5 μmol g-1 after 6 h. Furthermore, in the presence of SSR and using a suspended form of catalyst, the removal efficiency was 1.6 times higher than the efficiency achieved with immobilized ZnO/Fe2O3 catalyst. Using the HPLC method for 1.68Zn/Fe/ZnAF/SSR system, five primary intermediates were found to be formed. The applicability of ZnO/Fe2O3/ZnAF for removal of other dyes was also examined.

Abstract
In this work a parametric study and a bench bioreactor degradation test of Direct Black 22 (DB22) by Penicillium chrysogenum was performed as a first approach to an industrial application, framed within a policy of sustainable processes development. Three ancillary carbon sources and their optimum initial concentrations were studied. These were: glucose, potato starch and potato industry wastewater. Their optimum initial concentration was 6 g/L. The use of potato starch as co-substrate showed the highest decolorization rate and COD removal. Degradation of DB22 using different immobilization supports (stainless steel sponge, loofah sponge and polyethylene strips) was studied and the results showed that the time needed for the treatment decreased from 6 to 4 d. Phytotoxicity was evaluated in the final products of the immobilized cells assays, using Lactuca sativa seeds. For all treatments phytoxicity was reduced with respect to the untreated wastewater, except for the assays using polyethylene strips. Finally, the reuse of the biomass attached to different carriers and the performance of the treatment of DB22 in a 1 L bench scale bioreactor were tested. P. chrysogenum decolorized at least four sucesives reuses. The reactor assays showed a better performance of the treatment.

Abstract
Inorganic-microbial hybrid systems have potential to be sustainable, efficient and versatile chemical synthesis platforms by integrating the light-harvesting properties of semiconductors with microbial cells. Here, we demonstrate light-driven photocatalytic semiconducting Aspergillus niger cells-ZnS nanoparticles for enhanced removal of the dye methyl orange. Chemically synthesized ZnS nanoparticles exhibited a zinc blende pattern in X-ray diffraction, had a dimension of 20-90 nm with a band gap (Ebg) of 3.4 eV at 1.83 × 1018 photons/second. Biologically synthesized ZnS nanoparticles of 40-90 nm showed a hexagonal pattern in the X-ray powder diffraction spectra with an Ebg 3.7 eV at 1.68 × 1018 photons/second. At a methyl orange (MO) concentration of 100 mg/L, dosage of 0.5 × 105 mol catalyst and pH 4, a 97.5% and 98% removal efficiency of MO was achieved in 90 min and 60 min for, respectively, chemically and biologically synthesized ZnS nanobiohybrids in the presence of UV-A light. The major degradation products of photocatalysis for chemically synthesized ZnS nanobiohybrids were naphtholate (C10H7O m/z 143) and hydroquinone (C9H5m/z 113). For the biologically synthesized ZnS nanobiohybrids, the degradation products were hydroquinone (C9H5m/z 113) and 2-phenylphenol (C12H10O m/z 170).

Biodecolorization and Ecotoxicity Abatement of Disperse Dye-Production Wastewater Treatment with Pycnoporus Laccase. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19137983. [PMID: 35805640 PMCID: PMC9265578 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19137983] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2022] [Revised: 06/17/2022] [Accepted: 06/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
The biological treatment efficiency of dye wastewater using activated sludge (AS) is largely limited to the chromaticity and ecotoxicity of dyestuff. To alleviate this limitation, eleven industrial-grade disperse dyes were obtained from a fiber-dyeing factory, and for the first time, we studied the decolorization and detoxification effects of using the Pycnoporus laccase enzyme. Efficient decolorization was achieved with the following conditions: dye concentration 50 mg/L, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) 0.15 mM, temperature 65 °C, pH 4, and laccase 0.33 U/mL. The decolorization rate of disperse dyes, ranging from 51 to 96% in this investigation, was highly dependent on the dye type, concentration, laccase loading, and HBT. The ecotoxicity of dyes was evaluated by studying the germination/growth of wheat seed as well as the respiratory rate of aerobic AS. Laccase treatment mitigated the phytotoxicity of dyes because of the higher wheat germination (e.g., increase of 38% for Black ECT 200%) and growth rate (e.g., increase of 91% for Blue 2BLN 200%). The reduced ecotoxicity of decolorized dye solution towards microorganisms was also confirmed by the finding that the oxygen uptake by aerobic AS was increased relative to that of the untreated samples (e.g., increase of 14 folds for Blue HGL 200%). In addition, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of decolorized dye solution was slightly lower than that without decolorization during the respiratory test. The experimental results suggest that enzymatic decolorization and detoxification can be potentially used as a pretreatment method for disperse dye wastewater followed by AS treatment.

High Potential Decolourisation of Textile Dyes from Wastewater by Manganese Peroxidase Production of Newly Immobilised Trametes hirsuta PW17-41 and FTIR Analysis. Microorganisms 2022; 10:microorganisms10050992.

Abstract
Coloured wastewater from the textile industry is a very serious global problem. Among 16 different white-rot fungal isolates, Trametes hirsuta PW17-41 revealed high potential for decolourisation of mixed textile dyes (Navy EC-R, Ruby S3B and Super Black G) from real industrial wastewater samples. The efficiency of dye decolourisation was evaluated using the American Dye Manufacturers’ Institute (ADMI) standard methodology. The suitable support for fungal mycelium immobilisation was nylon sponges. The optimal dye decolourisation (95.39%) was achieved by using palm sugar and ammonium nitrate as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively. The initial pH was 5 and the agitation speed was 100 rpm at 30 °C. The ADMI values of textile dyes decreased from 2475 to 114 within two days, reducing the treatment time from seven days before optimisation. The major mechanism of dye decolourisation was biodegradation, which was confirmed by UV–visible and FTIR spectra. Manganese peroxidase (MnP) (4942 U L−1) was found to be the main enzyme during the decolourisation process at an initial dye concentration of 21,200 ADMI. The results indicated the strong potential of immobilised fungal cells to remove high concentrations of textile dyes from industrial wastewater and their potential ability to produce high MnP and laccase activities that can be used in further application.

Enhancing Algal Yield and Nutrient Removal from Anaerobic Digestion Piggery Effluent by an Integrated Process-Optimization Strategy of Fungal Decolorization and Microalgae Cultivation.

Abstract
The dark brown anaerobic digestion piggery effluent (ADPE) with a large amount of ammonium generally needs high dilution before microalgae cultivation due to its inhibiting effects on algal growth. Due to the strong decolorization of fungi by degrading organic compounds in wastewater, the process-optimization integrated strategy of fungal decolorization of ADPE and subsequent microalgae cultivation with ammonium-tolerant strain may be a more reliable procedure to reduce the dilution ratio and enhance algal biomass production, and nutrient removal from ADPE. This study determined a suitable fungal strain for ADPE decolorization, which was isolated and screened from a local biogas plant, and identified using 26s rRNA gene sequence analysis. Subsequently, ADPE was pretreated by fungal decolorization to make low-diluted ADPE suitable for the algal growth, and conditions of microalgae cultivation were optimized to achieve maximum algal yield and nutrient removal from the pretreated ADPE. The results showed one promising locally isolated fungal strain, Nanchang University-27, which was selected out of three candidates and identified as Lichtheimia ornata, presenting a high decolorization to ADPE through fungal pretreatment. Five-fold low-diluted ADPE pretreated by L. ornata was the most suitable medium for the algal growth at an initial concentration of ammonium nitrogen of 380 mg L−1 in all dilution treatments. Initial optical density of 0.3 and pH of 9.0 were optimal culture conditions for the algal strain to provide the maximum algal yield (optical density = 2.1) and nutrient removal (88%, 58%, 65%, and 77% for the removal rates of ammonium nitrogen, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and chemical oxygen demand, respectively) from the pretreated ADPE. This study demonstrated that fungal decolorization and subsequent microalgae cultivation could be a promising approach to algal biomass production and nutrient removal from ADPE.

Abstract
In this work, Aspergillus terreus GS28 and Aspergillus flavus CR500 isolated from industrial waste sludge examined for the decolorization of Congo red (CR) dye. The rate of CR decolorization raised due to optimum pH, temperature, carbon, nitrogen, and heavy metals. In the comparative study, A. terreus has the maximum ability (95%) to decolorize CR (≈ 100 mg L-1) as compared with A. flavus (92.96%) under optimized condition after 120 h. GC-MS and FTIR analysis of the fungal-metabolite and fungal-biomass shows bio-degradation and biosorption processes respectively. The degraded products were benzenepropanic (Rt-26.147), 3, 4-diaminonapthelene-1-sulfonic acid, and benzenedicarboxylic acid (Rt-26.660) by A. terreus, and benzenedicarboxylic acid (Rt-41.467) by A. flavus. The phytotoxicity assay revealed that a decrease in toxicity of the degraded product towards the growth and germination rate of two plant seeds compared to CR. Thus, the finding suggests that both the fungi act promising CR remediation candidates, induces restoration of CR polluted wastewater and save soil-land.

Abstract
Over the last few years, various industries have released wastewater containing high concentrations of dyes straight into the ecological system, which has become a major environmental problem (i.e., soil, groundwater, surface water pollution, etc.). The rapid growth of textile industries has created an alarming situation in which further deterioration to the environment has been caused due to substances being left in treated wastewater, including dyes. The application of activated carbon has recently been demonstrated to be a highly efficient technology in terms of removing methylene blue (MB) from wastewater. Agricultural waste, as well as animal-based and wood products, are excellent sources of bio-waste for MB remediation since they are extremely efficient, have high sorption capacities, and are renewable sources. Despite the fact that commercial activated carbon is a favored adsorbent for dye elimination, its extensive application is restricted because of its comparatively high cost, which has prompted researchers to investigate alternative sources of adsorbents that are non-conventional and more economical. The goal of this review article was to critically evaluate the accessible information on the characteristics of bio-waste-derived adsorbents for MB’s removal, as well as related parameters influencing the performance of this process. The review also highlighted the processing methods developed in previous studies. Regeneration processes, economic challenges, and the valorization of post-sorption materials were also discussed. This review is beneficial in terms of understanding recent advances in the status of biowaste-derived adsorbents, highlighting the accelerating need for the development of low-cost adsorbents and functioning as a precursor for large-scale system optimization.

Abstract
Wastewater from the textile industry contaminated with azo dyes affects the environment negatively, causes pollution, and threatens environmental balance. Among various methods for wastewater treatment, bioremediation emerges as an environmentally friendly, economical, and sustainable solution. In this study, white-rot fungus Sporotrichum sp. was employed to decolorize reactive blue 13 (RB13). The long-term decolorization capacity of the fungus was investigated by a sequential batch experiment under optimized conditions. The fungus showed high decolorization efficiency upon repeating usage, and its decolorization efficiency decreased from 97.4% to 87.09% after transferring to a freshly prepared medium seven times. The MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay) method using Chinese Hamster Lung V79 379A was performed to assess the cytotoxicity of treated water samples. This study revealed that Sporotrichum sp. has short-term enzymatic and long-term biosorption capacity on reactive blue 13 and the decolorization potential of the alive and dead cells is impressively high. PRACTITIONER POINTS: White-rot fungus Sporotrichum sp. is able to decolorize sulfonated azo-dye reactive blue 13 upon sequential incubation in freshly prepared dye solution. The decolorization mechanism of the fungus is estimated to be bioadsorption. Sporotrichum sp. can be considered for long-term usage and immobilization applications.

Abstract
Dye removal from effluents is a major problem for most textile industries. At present, wastewater treatments are currently based on physico-chemical methods which are expensive, energy inefficient and of limited versatility. The aim of this work was to find a low-cost and efficient method for dye removal. To do this, we designed a combined system based on the immobilization of the ligninolytic white-rot fungus Peniophora laxitexta (BAFC 4687) on mixed supports consisting of two polyurethane foam discs and a middle layer of diverse lignocellulosic substrates: soybean hulls, wheat straw or cellulose spent casings. As a corticioid fungus, P. laxitexta was able to completely colonize the supports developing a compact and tight structure that maintained the integrity of the system after several dye removal cycles. The immobilized fungus removed between 30% and 50% of the azoic dye Xylidine and more than 50% of the anthraquinonic dye RBBR in three successive cycles, and near 90% of the triphenylmethane Malachite Green in 10 repeated cycles without any loss of efficiency. Our analysis showed that the removal of the dyes was due to the combined effect of adsorption to the supports and enzymatic decolorization by soluble laccases and enzymes associated with the mycelium. Additionally, we showed that the presence of Malachite Green induced the expression of a new laccase isoform with high decolorization capacity. Based on these results, we propose that this inoculated laminar biocarrier could be effectively used for dye removal in textile wastewater.

Abstract
Azo dye is the most versatile class of dyes used in the textile industry. Although the sulfidogenic process shows superiority in the removal of azo dye, the role of biogenic sulfide produced by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in the decolorization of azo dye is unclear. This study explored the mechanism of biogenic sulfide for removal of a model azo dye (Direct Red 81 (DR 81)) through biotic and abiotic batch tests with analysis of intermediates of the azo dye degradation. The results showed that biogenic sulfide produced from sulfate reduction directly cleaved two groups of azo bond (-NN-), thereby achieving decolorization. Moreover, the decolorization rate was enhanced by nearly 3-fold (up to 42 ± 1 mg/L-hr; removal efficiency > 99%) by adding an external carbon source or elevating the initial azo dye concentration. This study showed that biogenic sulfide plays an essential role in azo dye decolorization and provides a new avenue for the potential application of biogenic sulfide from the sulfidogenic system for the treatment of azo dye-laden wastewater.

Abstract
Cellulose and chitin are the most abundant polymeric, organic carbon source globally. Thus, microbes degrading these polymers significantly influence global carbon cycling and greenhouse gas production. Fungi are recognized as important for cellulose decomposition in terrestrial environments, but are far less studied in marine environments, where bacterial organic matter degradation pathways tend to receive more attention. In this study, we investigated the potential of fungi to degrade kelp detritus, which is a major source of cellulose in marine systems. Given that kelp detritus can be transported considerable distances in the marine environment, we were specifically interested in the capability of endophytic fungi, which are transported with detritus, to ultimately contribute to kelp detritus degradation. We isolated 10 species and two strains of endophytic fungi from the kelp Ecklonia radiata. We then used a dye decolorization assay to assess their ability to degrade organic polymers (lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose) under both oxic and anoxic conditions and compared their degradation ability with common terrestrial fungi. Under oxic conditions, there was evidence that Ascomycota isolates produced cellulose-degrading extracellular enzymes (associated with manganese peroxidase and sulfur-containing lignin peroxidase), while Mucoromycota isolates appeared to produce both lignin and cellulose-degrading extracellular enzymes, and all Basidiomycota isolates produced lignin-degrading enzymes (associated with laccase and lignin peroxidase). Under anoxic conditions, only three kelp endophytes degraded cellulose. We concluded that kelp fungal endophytes can contribute to cellulose degradation in both oxic and anoxic environments. Thus, endophytic kelp fungi may play a significant role in marine carbon cycling via polymeric organic matter degradation.
