Dyes used during various industrial activities in the production of the essential consumer goods, of modern life's, especially such as textiles, leather, cosmetics, food and beverage, paper and pulp mill cause the most important inevitable environmental pollution problems of the contemporary world?s, and also threatens the ecological balance. Especially, as a result of the textile wastewaters that contain high amounts of synthetic dyes, light transmission is reduce and the photosynthetic activity of aquatic life is adversely affected, so this situation causes a highly toxic effect on living communities. Although physical and chemical methods are used for the removal of these dyes, alternative methods such as biological systems are needed due to disadvantages like high costly, acting on a limited number of dyes types and disposal of concentrated sludge in large quantities. Biosorption method with low-cost, high metal binding capacity and its feature as microorganisms taking the main role drawn the attention of the scientific world as an alternative method for the removal of industrial waste. Studies in recent year has drawn the attention to the existence of organism which have the ability to remove many types of dyes from wastewater. Bacteria, fungi (mold-yeast and filamentous fungi), algae and seaweeds are group of organisms can be used in this regard. Trametes versicolor (white rot fungus) which is a filamentous fungus is a species of belonging to Basidiomycetes class, tested in numerous researches as a dyes remover. Rhizopus arrhizus belonging to Zygomycetes class is another fungal species tested as dyes remover. The species that belong Cladophora genus from green algs and bacteria that belong to Bacillus and Pseudomonas genus are between microorganisms group that can be used as biosorbent. This study is aimed to provide an overview to the microorganism used in biosorption method and collect latest information about the subject. The first economic feasibility studies on applicability of biosorption technology show that this process provides significantly cost savings and that the recovery of heavy metals reduces additional cost.
