β¦ Synopsis
Phanerochaete chrysosporium decolourised 6 out of 9 synthetic textile dyes tested in the presence of glucose. 3 textile dyes were decolourised in the absence of a primary carbon source. Decolourisation of an artificial textile effluent was complete after 7 days, however, the role of lignin peroxidase was unclear.

A microbial consortium, PDW, was isolated capable of the rapid decolourisation of commercially important textile dyes under anaerobic conditions. Decolourisation was dependent upon the presence of a carbon and energy source in addition to the textile dyes. PDW was capable of dye decolourisation when
Phanerochaete chrysosporium was proposed for the decolorization and degradation of chlorinated compounds (AOX) present in the E1 stage effluent of the Kraft process. We observed that pellets of the fungus inoculated in the E1 effluent, not supplemented with nutrients, strongly absorb colour and AOX.
