Fungal biodiversity of water and sediments in some aquatic systems in Basrah Province and their capabilities to degrade methyl orange
Downloads
This study investigates the fungal biodiversity of water and sediment samples from some waterbodies and their ability to degrade Methyl orange (M.O.) on a solid medium. Ten fungal genera were isolated, and the genus Aspergillus represented the highest percentage (70%). Sixteen fungal species were isolated that 88% of which (14 species) belonged to anamorphic fungi. Trichoderma sp. showed the highest percentage (40%). Out of the 16 isolated fungi, Aspergillus flavus, A. niger, and A. terreus showed the best result for decolourising M.O. on a solid medium potato dextrose agar. These fungi isolates were selected to test their ability to biodegrade M.O. in a liquid medium supplemented with 50 mg.L-1 M.O. as the sole carbon source. Based on the results, after 7 days of incubation, A. niger degraded 14% of M.O., while A. flavus and A. terreus degraded 12% of the dye.
