Pure culture of C. versicolor IBL-04 obtained from Industrial
Biotechnology Laboratory, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry,
University of Agriculture, Faisalabad was used for the
preparation of homogenous spore suspension for the inoculation
of decolorization flasks. The inoculum was prepared by transferring
the fungal spores to the sterilized liquid inoculummedium (pH
4.5) that consisted of Kirk’s medium [23] with added 1% glucose.
The flasks were placed in shaking incubator (120 rpm) at 30 ◦C for
5 days to get a homogenous spore suspension (1×108 spores/mL).
