ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel white rot lignin-modifying fungusFlavodon flavusdeposited at National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, India, at accession No. 312 which is being deposited in ATCC with accession No. ______, and a process for removal of dyes in dye-containing waste-waters and soil, said process comprising the steps of growing the white rot fungusFlavodon flavusin a nutrient medium containing assimilable carbon and nitrogen source, having optimal salinity up to 15 parts per thousand for a period of about 4-10 days, contacting biomass with effluents containing dyes for a period of at least 5 days followed by separation of the fungal biomass from the effluents by conventional methods to render the effluents substantially free of dyes.
