Abstract

To determine a thermotolerant fungus strain for decolorization of alcohol distillery wastewater (ADW), 38 fungus strains were studied. Capacity for ligninolytic enzyme production was examined at 35 and 43C on agar media containing 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) and MnCl2. At 43°C, four Pycnoporus coccineus strains showed a higher potential for ADW decolorization both on agar media and in liquid media. Immobilized mycelia on polyurethane foam removed about threefold more total phenol than did free mycelia under conditions of shaking at 43°C. Moreover, immobilized mycelia removed nearly 50% more color than did free mycelia.
