Summary
The Americana Municipal Treatment Station, São Paulo, Brazil, manages 400 l of effluent s−1, from domestic and textile origin, which produces an average of 20 t of sludge per day. The decolourization of the effluent and sludge by three strains of Pleurotus (Pleurotus sajor-caju F2, F6 and Pleurotus ostreatus) was evaluated. The strains of P. sajor-caju F2 and F6 were able to decolourize the sludge, while P. ostreatus was less efficient. Detoxification was appraised with three bioassays comprising the cnidarian Hydra attenuata, the alga Selenastrum capricornutum and lettuce seeds. After exposure to fungi, effluent toxicity decreased but not that of its sludge. Strain P. sajor-caju F6 presented signs of toxicity shown by electron microscopy in the presence of the effluent. The three strains produced high amounts of manganese-peroxidase (Mn–P) and laccase in the presence of the sludge. Although P. ostreatus produced large amount of Mn–P and laccase enzymes, these enzymes did not result in decolourization of the sludge, suggesting that other factors are likely to be involved. Carbon content decreased only in the treatment with P. ostreatus.
