| Abstract | The white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor decolorized Amaranth. The hypothesis that the carbon structure of Amaranth was broken down in smaller mass fragments was investigated analyzing the products of decoloration. FTIR spectroscopy, ion chromatography, sulfite and ammonia analysis were used to compare the culture filtrate before dye addition, with the pure dye, the culture filtrate after dye addition, and the culture filtrate during the treatment. The hypothesis of polymerization of the decoloration products was tested by spectrophotometric analysis of dialysates of the pure dye, the culture filtrate before dye addition, and the culture filtrates after dye addition and decoloration. FTIR showed that the signals typical for the azo group disappeared after decoloration, while new peaks appeared that were characteristic of substituted naphthalenic or benzenic compounds. Ion chromatography showed that the level of sulfate in the treatment increased when compared with the level of the sulfate in control, suggesting that the sulfonic groups were being stripped from Amaranth’s structure and metabolized to sulfate. Sulfite measurements for the treatment and controls showed no significant difference, and were well below the saturation concentration for sulfite in water, confirming that the medium was aerobic. Ammonia concentration did not change with the decoloration. Absorbance scans after dialysis of decolorized samples showed no new peaks, suggesting that the decoloration products were not polymerized. These observations suggests that the decoloration mechanism starts with the azo link removal, followed by desulfonation, naphthalene ring opening, and the formation of smaller mass fragments, similar to fungal metabolites. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
