Discussion

This research evaluates G. lucidum's decolorization of dyes and ligninolytic enzyme production, indicating its bioremediation potential.

G. lucidum rapidly degraded Congo red and methylene blue, supporting its use in bioremediation.
Laccase activity peaked at 985 U L-1 at 8 days, while lignin peroxidase reached 1192 U L-1 at 14 days.
In solid medium, G. lucidum showed a high decolorization index without affecting mycelial growth.
The study implies G. lucidum's potential application in treating dye-contaminated environments.

Gaudel et al. (2025) studied this question.
