Abstract

Decolourization of the selected dye malachite green by Aspergillus sp. and Fusarium sp. was observed under agitation. Decolorization of malachite green under agitation was effective with Fusarium sp. 71–82% of dye decolourization was obtained at the end of 72 hours by Fusarium and 22–65.4% by Aspergillus. The results obtained in this study showed that the decolorization of malachite green under agitation was found to be the effective with Fusarium.
