In initial screening study, the maximum decolorization (84.8%) of Solar brilliant red 80 was achieved in 7 days shaking incubation period at pH 4.5 and 30 °C.
An indigenously isolated white rot fungus, Schizophyllum commune IBL-06 was used to decolorize Solar brilliant red 80 direct dye in Kirk's basal salts medium.
Different physical and nutritional factors including pH, temperature and fungal inoculum density were statistically optimized through Completely Randomized Design (CRD), to enhance the efficiency of S. commune IBL-06 for maximum decolorization of Solar brilliant red 80 dye.
Under optimum conditions, the S. commune IBL-06 completely decolorized (100%) the Solar brilliant red 80 dye using maltose and ammonium sulfate as inexpensive carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively in 3 days.
S. commune IBL-06 produced the three major ligninolytic enzymes lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganase peroxidase (MnP) and lacaase (Lac) during the decolorization of Solar brilliant red 80. LiP was the major enzyme (944 U/mL) secreted by S. commune IBL-06 along with comparatively lower activities of MnP and Laccase.
The summer solstice is the lightest, brightest, most brilliant summit of solar power.
Another possible reason could be the inconsistency in behavior of peroxidase enzyme expression in Cordyceps which was also reported earlier in a study involving use of Schizophyllum commune for decolorization of Solar brilliant red 80 where it seems to be growth dependent [ 25].
In my immediate circle I know brilliant young people bringing solar power to the slums of India, teaching refugees how to code, using crowdfunding to challenge anti-democratic laws, helping disadvantaged kids get an education, and more.
As someone who constantly regrets being a lazy little teenager in science lessons, apps like Solar Walk are brilliant: a 3D model of the solar system with plentiful information about the planets, their movements and history.
The comet, a relatively small core of rocks and ice with a vaporous tail of gas and dust, is the most brilliant one to visit the solar system since the Hale-Bopp comet in 1997.
