✦ Synopsis
A white-rot fungus Coriolus versicolor was immobilized by entrapment in calcium alginate beads. Treatment of a kraft mill effluent with the immobilized fungus in the presence of sucrose resulted in 80% loss of color of the effluent within 3 days. The minimal concentration of sucrose required for the decolorization was I0 mM. Other carbon sources (xylose, glucose, glycerol, and ethanol) could al~o be used.
