Evaluation of Dye Compounds' Decolorization Capacity of Selected H. haematococca and T. harzianum Strains by Principal Component Analysis (PCA).

ABSTRACT: The selected strains of microscopic fungi, Haematonectria haematococca (BwIII43, K37) and Trichoderma harzianum (BsIII33), decolorized the following monoathraquinone dyes with different efficiency: 0.03 % Alizarin Blue Black B, 0.01 % Carminic Acid, 0.01 % Poly R-478, and 0.2 % post-industrial lignin. The most effective was the removal of 0.03 % Alizarin Blue Black B (50-60 %) and 0.01 % Carminic Acid (55-85 %). The principal component analysis (PCA) method was applied to determine the main enzyme responsible for the biodecolorization process of the dye substrates and indicated that horseradish-type (HRP-like), lignin (LiP), and manganese-dependent (MnP) peroxidases were responsible for the decolorization of anthraquinone dyes by the strains tested.
