Abstract
The strain Aspergillus fumigatus XC6 isolated from mildewing rice straw was evaluated for its ability to decolorize a dye industry effluent The strain was capable of decolorizing dyes effluent over a pH range 30–80 with the dyes as sole carbon and nitrogen sources The optimum pH was 30 however supplemented with either appropriate nitrogen sources 02 NH4Cl or NH42SO4 or carbon sources 10 sucrose or potato starch the strain decolorized the effluent completely at the original pH of the dyes effluent Therefore A fumigatus XC6 is an efficient strain for the decolorization of reactive textile dyes effluents and it might be a practical alternative in dyeing wastewater treatment
