Microbial biodegradation of recalcitrant synthetic dyes from textile-enriched wastewater by Fusarium oxysporum
The present study reported the improvement of biological treatment for the removal of recalcitrant dyes including aniline blue, reactive black 5, orange II, and crystal violet in contaminated water. The biodegradation efficiency of Fusarium oxysporum was significantly enhanced by the addition of mediators and by adjusting the biomass density and nutrient composition. A supplementation of 1% glucose in culture medium improved the…

Biodegradation and Detoxification of Malachite Green Dye by Extracellular Laccase…
The present study evaluated the potential of biodegrading the toxic synthetic dye malachite green (MG) by an enzymatic approach. Extracellular laccase derived a fungal strain Fusarium oxysporum HUIB02 was used in the direct biodegradation of MG. Time-course study showed that the crude laccase successfully removed ≥ 80% MG after 20 h of treatment. The presence of Cu2+ ions enhanced MG…
