The potential of Aspergillus terreus fungus was investigated as a biosorbents for removal of reactive Synazol dye from its multicomponent textile wastewater. Pretreatment of fungal biomass with gamma radiation (10 kGy) single and/or combined with others treatments increased the removal of dye compared with untreated biomass. The pretreatment biomass by gamma radiation (10 kGy) and heat autoclave for 30 min. then soaked for 1 h in 10% H2SO4, exhibited maximum dye removal at pH 3, temperature 30 oC and 2 g L-1 (w/v) biomass concentration after 6 h contact time under agitation rate 150 rpm.
