Background, aim and scope Because of high discharged
volumes and effluent composition, wastewater from the
textile industry can be considered as the most polluting
amongst all industrial sectors, thus greatly requiring
appropriate treatment technologies. Although some abiotic
methods for the reduction of several dyes exist, these require
highly expensive catalysts and reagents. Biotechnological
approaches were proven to be potentially effective in the
treatment of this pollution source in an eco-efficient manner.
The white-rot fungi are, so far, the most efficient microorganisms
in degrading synthetic dyes. This white-rot fungi’s
property is due to the production of extracellular ligninmodifying
