1

White rot fungus Pleurotus eryngii F032

Naphthalene

1,4-Naphthaquinone, benzoic acid and catechol are metabolites resulting from naphthalene biodegradation. The optimal decolorization was attained at pH 3 and 40˚C.

(Hadibarata et al., 2013)

2

White rot fungus Coriolopsis sp. (1c3)

Triphenylmethane dyes (TPM)

94%, 97% and 91% decolorization was observed for Crystal Violet (CV; 100 mg/l), Methyl Violet (MV; 100 mg/l) and Cotton Blue (CB; 50 mg/L), within 7, 7 and 1 day(s) respectively.

3

Aspergillus niger

Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) and Acid Red 299 (NY1)

Recombinant and native laccases showed similar decolorization (40% - 60%) for Remazol Brilliant Blue R within 200 min.

(Benghazi et al., 2014)

4

Pseudomonas sp.

Reactive Blue 13

83% decolorization at HRT of 70 h.

(Lin et al., 2010)

5

Aeromonas jandaei SCS5

Methyl red (MR)

Complete decolorization of MR at 100 mg/L and HRT of 6 h.

(Sharma et al., 2016)

6

Bacterial mixed cultures SB4

Remozol Orange

Decolorized 0.2 µg/L of RV5 in ~18 h.
