ABSTRACT:
A new strain Penicillium Sp.B1 ATCC74414 has been discovered that is capable of degrading polymeric aromatic dyes, including azo dyes. The invention features new Penicillium strains, and mutants thereof, as well as methods of bioremediation to degrade these dyes and other, related aromatic pollutants.
