Fungi for Dye Cleanup

White rot fungi produce powerful enzymes that break down synthetic dyes, making them a promising solution for textile wastewater treatment. These fungi, particularly Trametes species, use ligninolytic enzymes like laccase, manganese peroxidase, and lignin peroxidase to degrade toxic dyes, reducing water pollution and environmental impact.
