Phanerochaete chrysosporium immobilized on cubes of nylon sponge in a biore-
actor based on a standard rotating drum con guration. Similar attempt was made by

Kasinath et al. ( 2003 ), in which they immobilized the white rot fungus Irpex lacteus
on polyurethane foam and pine wood to study the degradation of Remazol Brilliant
Blue R dyein a packed bed bioreactor with the help of MnP and laccase enzyme.
