The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application of Beauveria bassiana in the decolorization and degrade of Methyl Orange (MO) as a model sulfonated azo dye from aqueous solution. B. bassiana was acclimated to higher concentration of MO dye (25 – 250 mg/L) in MSM after repeated sub-culturing. B. bassiana could completely decolorize of MO in a large variety up to 100 mg/L of MO concentration, at 28 °C and pH 8. This study showed that methyl orange is fully decolorized by Beauveria bassiana at optimized operational conditions within 7 days of incubation period.
