Decolourization of Turqoise Blue (Remazol Blue BB) Dye by Immobilized Penicillium sp. into Sodium-Alginate-Sulfate Beads

Decolourization and biodegradation of Navy blue HER (Reactive Blue 171) dye from Marasmius sp. BBKAV79

White rot fungus Marasmius sp. BBKAV79 (GenBank accession number-KP455496, KP455497) exhibited decolourization and degradation of Navy blue HER dye (concentration 50 mg l-l) within 24 h under shaking condition. In the present study, various investigated parameters like initial dye concentration, pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized to develop a faster decolourization proc...

Remazol Brilliant Blue R Dye Decolourization by Laccase Produced by Pleurotus Sajor-caju via Solid-State Fermentation

The application of synthetic dyes in various industries improved the aesthetic properties of the products, but the discharge of dye-containing effluent into water bodies leads to serious environmental problems. Till date, colour removal from effluent is still a challenge due to the absence of economically attractive treatments. In this study, decolourization of a synthetic dye – Remazol brillia...

Spectroscopic Studies on the Interaction of Toludine Blue Dye with Sodium Alginate Polyelectrolyte

The interaction of Toluidine blue with Sodium Alginate has been investigated by spectrophotometric method. The polymer induces metachromasy in the dye as evidenced from the considerable blue shift in the absorption maxima of the dye. The interaction constant and thermodynamic parameters of polymer-dye interaction have been determined. The effect of alcohols on the reversal of metachromasy has b...

Bio-bleaching of Remazol brilliant blue-19 by Stereum ostrea

Efficiency of white-rot fungi-Stereum ostrea (S. ostrea) as a test culture and Phanerochaete chrysosporium (P. chrysosporium) as a reference culture in colour removal from a textile dye, Remazol brilliant blue-19 (RBB-19) in medium was compared in this study. S. ostrea was more efficient than P. chrysosporium in decoloration process. Different parameters pH, temperature, sources of carbon and n...
