Fifty fungi species were isolated from paper mill effluent i.e. Penicillium sp, Trichoderma sp, Rhizopus sp, Mucor sp, Aspergillus sp, and Phanerochaete sp. After screening of fungi, Phanerochaete sp, a white rot fungus was selected for delignification. The effect of different parameters on delignification was studied. It was found that pH (5), temperature (30°C), contact time (6 days) and moisture content (40%) were optimum for delignification by Phanerochaete sp. Different physicochemical parameters i.e., dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, chemical oxygen demand, biological oxygen demands were also determined.
