Decolorization Analysis

 The potential of bacterial azoreductases has been exploited within the decolorization and degradation of azo dyes (Mahmood et al. 2017). However, white-rot fungi belonging to Basidiomycetes and Ascomycetes and producing ligninolytic enzymes have also been proven to be ready to degrade these toxic pollutants. In the light of those considerations, for the primary time, the investigation of the secretome of M. roridum within the look for enzymes involved within the decolorization of azo dyes was undertaken. the foremost likely candidate for this process clothed to be an enzyme with laccase activity, which was then successfully wont to eliminate these toxic dyes from aqueous solutions. The enzyme had been previously characterized by us and preliminarily proven as potentially promising within the decolorization of Indigo Carmine. However, this study presents a holistic approach including the M. roridum secretome inspection to seek out dye-decolorizing enzymes, application of the laccase to azo dyes removal, and assessment of the toxicity of the metabolites formed after the treatment of the dyes.
