Abstract
Lentinus edodes (UEC-2019 strain) was selected after screening 51 ligninolytic strains of fungi for their ability to decolorize phenolic industrial effluent with high content of lignin peroxidases, Mn-peroxidases and beta-glucosidases. This strain removed 73 % of color in theEucalyptus Kraft E1 effluent in 5 days without any additional carbon sources. A 13% mycelial adsorption was found. Correlation between mass loss, COD, TOC and decolorization was observed. When an effluent pre-irradiated (10 min) in the presence of ZnO was treated withL. edodes, a marked enhancement of the decolorization at 48 h was obtained.L. edodes is an active fungus in this pre-treatment and biobleaching process. The combined photo-biological decolorization procedure appears to be an efficient decontamination method with great potential in industrial effluent treatment.
