title: Decolorization of pulp and paper mill effluent by growth ofAspergillus niger.
abstract: Pulp and paper mill effluent was decolorized by growth ofAspergillus niger. Adding glucose (2.0 g/l) and NH4H2PO4 (1.0 g/l) improved decolorization by the fungus (leaving 19% of original colour) and reduced the BOD5 (43%) and the COD (41%) of the effluent after 48 h of incubation.
