Increasing manganese peroxidase production and biodecolorization of triphenylmethane dyes by novel fungal consortium

► A fungal consortium-SR was developed for decolorization. ► The fungal consortium-SR produced more MnP than that of the monoculture. ► The fungal consortium-SR decolored three dyes with a high efficiency. ► For decolorization, time of dye addition was an important factor.
