    Bio Softening of Non Conventional Fibres
    (2016) Lavanya, A; Vasugi, N
    Cellulases have euoinious potenlial in induslries and are used in food, beverages, textile, laundr y, paper and pulp industries. The treniend(uis crninnercial potential of cellulases in a variety of applications remains the driving force for reseaich in this area. This study was aimed to screen the cellulolytic ability of fungi from garbage waste discharged soil and softening of nonconventional fibres. The optimal conditicm for enzyme activity was determined. Highest yield of enzyme was noted at 40°C while rniLxirnum activity in the range of pH 6. High enzyme activity was obseiwed after 60 minutes of incubation, maximum activity was obseixed at tire concentration of one ml enzyme. The optimized parameters for biosoftening of hemp and jute fibres are pH.6, temperature -40°C, Incubation tirne-60 minutes and enzyme: water proportion is 1:1. and pH.7. temperature -30°C. Incubation tirne-60 minutes and enzyme: water pro portion is 1:1 respectively.

    Decolourization of Textile Dye Biomass of Aspergillus fumigatus Effluent by Non-Viable
    (2012) Kalaiarasi, K; Lavanya, A; Amsamani, S; Bagyalakshmi, G
    The aim of this work was to study the decolourization of textile dye effluent by non-viable biomass of Aspergillus fumigates. The dried non-viable fungal biomass exhibited maximum dye removal at pH 7.0 with temperature of 30°C and 3 g/l fw/vj biomass concentration, after 24 h contact time. The results showed that the non-viable biomass possessed high efficiency for dye removal from textile effluent.
