ABSTRACT
Due to increasing of population and industrial use of chemicals and manmade activity water resources
are highly polluted with different harm full contaminants. Synthetic dyes are utilized extensively in
various textile industries and found frequently in the effluent discharge of industrial wastes in excess
quantity which can influence the ecological damage in the surrounding environment. Treatment is
mandatory for those industrial effluents before being discharge. Mycoremediation by local fungal
consortium is one of the sustainable and eco-friendly techniques for fast, realistic and complete
degradation of Acid Blue-25 dye in to nontoxic metabolites. The present study deals with the isolation
of dye degrading fungal strains from the dye amended soils. Irrespective of their molecular structure,
during the decolorization process, observed that the Anthraquinone (Acid Blue-25) dye first undergo
chromophore cleavage by anthraquinone reductase. It was confirmed by some of the released
metabolites involved were analyzed by spectroscopy, TLC, HPLC, GCMS, LCMS, FTIR, and NMR.
The derived intermediate metabolites are to be segregated in a specific pattern during the dye
decolorization and degradation. But a few of the derivatives were fused to central metabolic pathway at
the time of degradation. The phytotoxic impact of Acid Blue-25 along with the biodegraded compounds
were proved that, the resulted and extracted derivatives were nontoxic in nature, stimulate in good
germination of Phaseolus mungo seeds. Further, it is confirmed that the existing fungal consortium-10
was very efficient in decolorization and degradation of anthraquinone dyes by converting the toxic
pollutants to non toxic which are eco-friendly.
