33 of them have disadvantages such as high costs and/or limit applicability 2s studies on the capability of microorganisms to perform dye decolorization has received increasing atten 35 tion because the use of microorganisms is considered a cost 36 effective and for removing 38 dyes from wastewater before they are discharged Likewise, the capabilities and mechanisms of decolorization 39 by bacteria have been studied.8,9 However, the application of 40 bacteria was limited due to the narrow substrate range of 41 various degrading bacteria.10 Moreover, to complete the degra dation of dyes, different groups of bacteria are required in an 43 altemation process from anaerobic to aerobic conditions 2,7 Research on the fungal decolorization of dye wastewater 45 has been performed in recent years. 11,12 Several fungi with 46 the capability to decolorize a wide range of dyes have been
