Water pollution has a negative impact on quality of life, health, and the environment. One of the major sources of water pollution is synthetic dyes that are not properly treated. The textile industry contributes more than 55% of global dye wastewater. It uses over 80,000 metric tons of reactive dyes annually, and this number continues to rise. One of the hazardous dyes that is difficult to deg…
The discovery of new antimicrobial compounds is critical due to increasing resistance of microorganisms to existing antimicrobials. Thermophilic fungi and bacteria from extreme environments, such as hot springs, show potential as sources of bioactive compounds due to their unique metabolic adaptations to high temperatures. In this study, bioactive compounds from Aspergillus fumigatus LBKURCC269…
Background and objectives: Laccase is a multi-copper oxidase, a green catalyst in dye bioremediation. One of the laccase producers is Trichoderma asperellum LBKURCC1 and is utilized in the bioremediation of textile dye Methyl Blue (MB). MB is a triphenylmethane dye, and is widely used in the textile industry, is toxic and difficult to degrade. Methods: The potential of T. asperellum LBKURCC1 in…
