The present study assessed the bioremediation potential of Fusarium chlamydosporium SPFS2-g isolated from tannery effluent enriched soil. The isolate exhibited minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) for Cr(VI) as 500 ppm. The treatment of tannery wastewater with Fusarium chlamydosporium in shake flask experiment resulted in the reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD), color, Cr(VI), total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, Na + , Cl -, and NO 3 -in the order of 71. 80, 64.69, 100, 36.47, 22.77, 11.69, 27.87 and 62.33%, respectively after six days of treatment duration.
This study deals with the decolorization and detoxification of tannery wastewater by an indigenous fungal isolate, Trichoderma viride SPFT1 isolated from untreated tannery wastewater. The results showed that treatment with Trichoderma viride SPFT1 reduced chemical oxygen demand (COD) (74.20%), nitrate (60.83%) and color (45.24%) of the tannery wastewater after six days of the incubation period. The toxicity assessment of the tannery wastewater on Phaseolus mungo L. var. PU-19 showed 70% seed germination in treated wastewater as compared to untreated wastewater (30%). Moreover, untreated tannery wastewater also inhibited seedling growth and reduced chlorophyll content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
