Abstract: | In this research the wood-rotting fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium culture was shown to be immobilized very well on the
porous foam material. The biomass concentration increased to about 2–3 g/l in 4–5 days. Repeated-batch decolorization tests
using immobilized Phanerochaete chrysosporium cells were conducted for 16 days with initial concentrations of 50–500 ppm of
Red 533 dispersed dye, a decolorization efficiency of 80% or higher was achieved within a period of one or two days. The ability
of the immobilized culture to perform a long-term decolorization operation was confirmed.
