Decolorization of methylene blue by white rot fungus Coriolus versicolor

Decolorization of Methylene Blue in cultures of the white rot fungus, Coriolus versicolor, was demonstrated. C. versicolor was found to effectively decolorize media containing 5 and 10 mg L super(-1) methylene blue. The effects of various glucose (5.5 and 27.7 mM) and NH sub(4)H sub(2)PO sub(4) (4.3...

Zusammenfassung:Decolorization of Methylene Blue in cultures of the white rot fungus, Coriolus versicolor, was demonstrated. C. versicolor was found to effectively decolorize media containing 5 and 10 mg L super(-1) methylene blue. The effects of various glucose (5.5 and 27.7 mM) and NH sub(4)H sub(2)PO sub(4) (4.34, 0.43 and 0.04 mu M) concentrations on the decolorization of methylene blue by C. versicolor were investigated. Decolorizing was found higher in media where the C/N ratio was adjusted to 2:1. Maximum decolorizing activity was achieved during the secondary metabolic phase.
