Summary

The coelomyceteStagonospora gigaspora degrades lignin derivatives within pulp mill bleachery effluents. Besides dechlorination, 90% of the color was removed from CEH bleachery effluents. Lignin derivatives in the effluents of the EOP bleaching stages revealed more persistent against fungal attack. Toxicity of both effluents was diminished significantly byS. gigaspora.
