Abstract
Three fungal species were isolated from Match box industrial effluent disposal site, characterized and exploited for its dye degradation potential on synthetic textile dyes (Acid scarlet 3R Conc., Brown Ex -399, Crystal violet, Green G Conc., Swiss pink) under static conditions. Results indicated the remarkable decolourisation potential of the isolated fungal cultures. All the selected fungal culture showed effective decolourisation against Green and Swiss pink. In general, all the chosen fungal biomass was found to be less effective against Acid scarlet.
