| Abstract: | This study presents characterization and decolourization of
wastewater using white rot fungus, Phanerochaete chrysosporium.
Fungus could decolourize undiluted wastewater to an extent
of only 35% in 6 days. However, when wastewater was supplemented
with medium containing glucose, high decolourization
efficiency ( 84%) could be achieved. Enzyme activities of lignin
peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) produced by
fungus were three and ten times respectively higher with the
wastewater supplemented with medium containing glucose than
with pure wastewater. Thus white rot fungus proved excellent
potential in decolourization of wastewater following
suitable pretreatment to suit its growth and enzyme activities. |
