phase pulsing bioreactors in decolourisation and detoxification of highly coloured
wastewaters, based on the oxidative capability of MnP towards xenobiotic degradation.
The decolourisation of an industrial dye, Poly R-478 by P. chrysosporium, is shown in
Figure 11.13. The proposed system is effective and achieves a high degree of
