In the present study, a marine strain of Trichoderma sp was used for degradation of a synthetic dye, malachite green. Individual and interaction effects of the physical and chemical factors that influenced the percentage of dye degradation were tested by response surface methodology. For optimization, enzyme production and dye degradation were assessed under different temperatures (5-40°C), pH ...

T adsorption of heavy metals onto the surface of the algae is alternative technique for current wastewater treatment systems. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the ability of cyanobacteria for removal of pollutants from sewage water. Two soil microalgal isolates Anabaena oryzae and Cyanosarcina fontana were tested for growth, metabolism and removal of heavy metals (Fe2+, Pb2+, Cu2+ an...
