Item Hongos de Podredumbre blanca en la remoción de colorantes textiles: una revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2025-12-05) Pungo Palencia, Valentina; Rojas Barreto, Julián Alonso (Director)The presence of textile dyes in industrial effluents has become a significant environmental problem due to their high toxicity, chemical stability, and resistance to conventional treatment systems. To this end, a systematic review was conducted that addresses recent research on the enzymatic activity of different species of white rot fungi to evaluate their effectiveness as a biotechnological alternative for the biodegradation of dyes in wastewater. The results show that the Trametes versicolor species stands out for its high biodegradation rates, reaching an average of 89.90% of different industrial dyes, mainly due to its ligninolytic system. The latter includes the enzymes lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP), showing percentages of 89.55%, while laccases reported a frequency of 89.95%. These values demonstrated the fungus' ability to transform complex and persistent compounds present in textile effluents. White rot fungi represent a valuable biotechnological alternative for the bioremediation of dye-contaminated wastewater, highlighting the importance of continuing their study from an enzymatic perspective as a sustainable strategy applicable to environmental sciences, microbiology, and industrial biotechnology.
