This study has been conducted to screen the decolorization of 4 aromatic synthetic dyes and production of ligninolytic enzymes by 4 white rot fungi such as Bjerkanderia adusta, Cerrena unicolor, Pleurotus pulmonarius and Abortiporus biennis. It was found that B. adusta, C. unicolor, and P. pulmonarius have the ability to efficiently decolorize congo red and moderately decolorized amaranth and orange G in solid and liquid culture media. However, the decolorization rate of 4 synthetic dyes by A. biennis was relatively low. The decolorization of congo red, amaranth, orange G were related to the growth rate of the fungal mycelia in the solid medium. But, the all fungi tested did not efficiently decolorize methylene blue in the liquid culture media. To investigate the production of ligninolytic enzymes in media containing aromatic compounds, fungi were cultured in 1% naphthalene supplemented potato dextrose broth medium. All fungi tested had the capability to produce laccase, lignin peroxidase and manganese peroxidase, and B. adusta was the best ligninolytic enzymes producing white rot fungus among other fungi tested.

This study was carried out to investigate insect pests and their damage caused to commercial amaranth in Gangneung, Gangwon-do, Korea, during 2019-2020. A total of seven families and 18 species were identified including three species of aphids, twelve species of stink bugs, and four species of moths. Among them, five species caused significant economic damage due to a large number of occurrences; Aphis fabae, Nysius plebejus, Polymerus cognatus, Spoladea recurvalis and Spodoptera exigua. Aphids started to occur from the end of April, and showed the greatest incidence in early June. Three Nysius species occurred from mid-May and showed the maximum density in late August, and then its population decreased from the beginning of September. Two species of moth caterpillars began to occur from mid-August and damaged amaranth until mid-October. Comparing the yields between amaranth plants with and without a spray of pesticides for each pest, the yield loss of seed by aphids and stink bugs were 51.9% and 69.8%, respectively. Also, the reduction rates of leaf biomass by S. recurvalis and S. exigua were 72.5% and 36.5%, respectively.

Biodegradation of azo dyes such as Amaranth, Sudan III and Congo-Red by Aspergillus sojae B-10 was demonstrated using Aspergillus sojae B-10. Aspergillus sojae B-10 showed the greatest decolorization ability when it was cultivated in a nitrogen-limited medium containing, azo dyes(10 mg/l), 2.0% glucose, 0.06% sodium nitrate, 0.1% $KH_PO_4$, 0.5% MgSO_4$ㆍ$7H_2O$ at pH 5.0 and $37^\circ{C}$ for 5 days. Under optimal conditions, Amaranth started being decolorized within 24 hr and was almost complete after decolorization of 4 days incubation. Sudan III was completely decolorized after a cultivation of 5 days. However, Congo-Red was not completely decolorized until 5 days of cultivation.

The binding of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-edible dyes was studied by spectrophotometric method. The edible dyes used in this study were amaranth, erythrosine, tartrazine and sunset yellow. The binding free energies and binding sites were determined at pH 7.4. The ranges of edible dye concentration were from 0.3 to $7{\times}10^{-5}$M, and those of BSA were from 0.15 to $3{\times}10^{-5}$M. The binding free energies of BSA-edible dyes were from -6, 300 to -8, 100 cal/mole.
