摘要

In this report, the decolorization features of extracellular enzymes and mycelia separately prepared from Aspergillus sp. TS-A CGMCC 12,964 (120 h) were investigated. The fermentation broth of TS-A degraded 98.6% of Mordant Yellow 1 (50 mg/L) at an initial pH 6 within 1 h with over 70% of the dye (50 mg/L) degraded by extracellular enzymes and 18.8% removed by live mycelia. The degradation products of the dye were analyzed by UV-Vis and FTIR spectra. The decolorization rates of extracellular enzymes and mycelia were examined under different contact periods, dye concentrations and pH values. The extracellular enzymes exhibited excellent degradation activity under weak acidic conditions. In addition, biosorption models of mycelia fitted well the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation. Although the decolorization process was achieved through the synergistic effects of mycelia and extracellular enzymes, decolorization was dominated by the biodegradation activity of the extracellular enzymes from TS-A.
