Abstract
Different fungal species, isolated in the laboratory, were tested for their dye degrading ability in still culture at various incubation periods. The study revealed the effective decolourisation of Orange-11 and some commercially used dyes like Dri green 2B1 and Dri brill red 4BL1. Aspergillus niger and Rhizopus sp. Caused 100% and 92% degradation respectively in 10 days incubation in still culture containing Orange 11 dye. Dri green 2B1 was effectively decolourised by most of the fungal species causing more than 70% decolourisation in 10 days. Dye decolourisation, an ability of some fungal species, suggests that they were promising fungal strains for the treatment of textile industry waste waters.
