Abstract

The isolated Basidiomycete, Pleurotus pulmonarius, a tree mushroom was confirmed by amplification of 18S rRNA and found to decolorize and degrade textile dye Reactive Green-19. This azo dye was decolorized and degraded completely by Pleurotus pulmonarius in both shaking and static conditions in 1% glucose medium at pH 23 range. The biodegradation was monitored by UV- Vis spectroscopy and GCMS analysis and Hexadecanoic acid, methyl ester- is the degradation product elected by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy) analysis.
