Abstract: The aim of the present study is to analyze the ability of the white rot fungi Coriolus Versicolor (MTCC 138) in the decolorization of Cibacron Yellow S-3R, a recalcitrant azo reactive textile dye. The influencing parameters that affect the percentage of decolorization rates are optimized in batch mode. The optimal values of the parameters such as mycelia age, temperature, pH, initial dye concentration and carbon source concentration are found to be 7 days, 30°C, 5.4, 100 mg/l and 2 mg/l respectively. The maximum percentage of decolorization at the optimized conditions is found to be 90%. It is also conferred that there is substrate inhibition to fungal decolorization when initial dye concentration is greater than 100 mg/l.
