Screening of C. versicolor IBL-04 on different effluents showed
different decolorization capability of the fungus for effluents collected
from different industries. The best decolorization (36.3% in 6
days) was noted for ART effluent followed by CRT (28.7% in 6 days),
ITT (28.6% in 10 days), MGT (13% in 10 days) and AST (6.99% in 6
days) industry effluents (Fig. 1). The slight changes in final pH were
noted in all flasks. The initial pH of all decolorization media was 4.5
and it remained fairly constant with the exception of CRT that rose
to almost pH 9.0.
