This research project aimed to provide an environmentally friendly method for the decolorization and biosorption of synthetic dye by utilizing fungi as biosorbents. The study was carried out first growing in solid medium then using biosorbent absorb aqueous solution. In stage, screening experiments were among 5 different types fungi, Pleurotus ostreatus determined have highest growth rate. recu...
