(Table 2). The strain C11 gives the highest color and COD removal yields of 99.2% and 84.4%, respectively. It was
selected for the further studies. In fact, this filamentous fungus is able to growon an industrial textilewastewater. The morphological characteristics of the fungus C11 were described in different stages
of growth. It was observed that the fungal filaments (Fig. 1a) produce
pigments in the presence of oxygen (Fig. 1b), which was
accompanied by the release of a fragrant smell. The orange hue
created by the isolate C11 confirms the production of secondary
metabolites. The perithecial hairs appear and become more
