The equilibrium isotherm was analyzed with theLangmuir and Freundlich models of adsorption. The biosorption data of MG on Onopordum turcicum Danin was fittedwith Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity was 1110.1 mg/g. The acquired results show that O.turcicum was effective in removal of MG dye from aqueous solution.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessBiyolojiEkolojiBiyoloji Çeşitliliğinin KorunmasıArticle1122822299706
