| Abstract | This study investigated fungal biodiversity in water and sediment samples and their abilityto degrade Congo red (C.R.) in solid and liquid media. Ten fungal genera were isolated,and the genus Aspergillus represented the highest percentage of 70%, while the othergenera ranged from 10% to 40%. Sixteen fungal species were isolated, and 88% of which(14 species) belonged to anamorphic fungi, 6% (1 species) to Zygomycota, and another6% to Ascomycota. Trichoderma sp. showed the highest percentage of 40%. Out of the16 isolated fungi, Aspergillus niger, Trichoderma sp. and Penicillium sp.1 showed thebest result in decolourising C.R. on a solid potato dextrose agar medium (PDA). Thesefungi were selected to test their ability to biodegrade C.R. in a liquid medium (MSM)supplemented with 50 mg/L C.R. as the sole carbon source. After 7 days of incubation,Trichoderma sp. degraded 63% of C.R., A. niger degraded 33% and Penicillium sp.1degraded 15%. Overall, Trichoderma sp. is a potential microorganism for C.R. degradation. |
