Abstract Reactive organic dyes are hazardous pollutants that should be removed from wastewater the textile industry. A remediation of dye polluted can achieved by using oxidative properties nanomaterials, such as ZnO nanoparticles, or microorganisms and their degrading enzymes. Promising approaches expected hybrid strategies, which use more than one approach. However, nanoparticles also reported to an antimicrobial antifungal agent, may undermine decolorization ability potent organisms, white rot fungi. Therefore, in this study we investigated effects soluble Zn on behaviour fungus Phanerochaete velutina commonly used reactive dyes, Orange 16 Green 19. ions led a low decolorized rate both at concentrations restored higher concentrations. showed highest rates, but only narrow concentration range. Overall, no toxic inhibitory for were found applied up 20 mg l −1 indicating tolerant P. will suitable multi waste waters.
