Phanerochaete chrysosporium was known as white rot mold which could biodegrade persistent organic pollutants. In this researchthe ability of the mold in biodegrading textile dye direct orange S and rhemazol yellow, which contained naphtol functional group, wasstudied. This research included characterization of the waste water and determination of optimum concentration of the waste water forbiodegradation. The optimum concentration for biodegradation was determined by measuring the radial growth of the mold in agarmedium containing various concentrations of textile dye. The final stage was the application of the mold for biodegrading the textiledye in aerobic batch reactor using the selected concentration.This research showed that P. chrysosporium could grow satisfactorily in minimum medium containing synthetic textile wastewaterin various concentrations. The highest colour removal efficiency of 93% was achieved in 3 days in the waste water with highest colorintensity (absorbance value l520 = 4.00), and 48% in the waste water with absorbance value l520 = 1.22. COD removal efficiency of87% was achieved within 12 days in the wastewater of 30% concentration, and 83% in the waste water of 100% concentration. The pHvalues decreased to 3.23 in the waste water with lower dye concentration and to 3.42 in the higher color intensity, from the initialvalues of 5.0-6.0. This research concluded that P. chrysosporium was capable to biodegrade naphtol textile dye with reasonably highefficiency.
