    Determination of Microfungi Flora of Soil Polluted by Industrial Wastewater in Aydin, Izmir and Manisa City
    Basbülbül, G; Biyik, H; Kalyoncu, F; Kalmis, E; Oryasin, E
    In this study, soil samples of 14 different localities polluted with industrial wastewaters around Aydin, Izmir and Manisa City were taken with seasonal intervals. The samples were brought to the laboratory and their microfungi were isolated and identified. The most frequently isolated genus from soil samples was found to be Aspergillus, followed by genus Penicillium. Among the isolated microfungi, Aspergillus niger is the most abundant species in soil. Microfungal concentrations of soil samples varied between 3,8 x 101 and 1,86 x 10(5) cfu/g. Depending on seasons, salinity of stations were measured between 0.004 % and 0.56 %, pH were between 6.36 and 9.81 and organic matter were between 0.13 % and 29.15.

    Evaluation of wild and commercial types of Pleurotus strains for their ability to decolorize cibacron black W-NN textile dye
    Biyik, H; Kalyoncu, F; Oryasin, E; Azbar, N; Kalmis, E; Basbülbül, G
    Biological decolorisation of Cibacron Black W-NN, was comparatively studied using five commercial (Pleurotus djamor, P. ostreatus, P. citrinopileatus, P. eryngii and P. sajor-caju) and three wild types of (Pleurotus ostreatus, P. ostreatus and P. eryngii) white rot fungi strains on agar plates. The initial dye concentrations in the medium were 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500 mg/L, respectively. All P. ostreatus strains and P. sajor-caju fully decolorized Cibacron Black W-NN without any problem. Other organisms were found to be negatively affected from increasing dye concentrations and were able to decolorize the dye used up to a certain concentration (50 mg/L for P. citrinopileatus; 100 mg/L for commercial P. eryngii and 200 mg/L for wild P. eryngii).
