Genotoxicity of Synthetic Food Colors on Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria in Agricultural Lands Irrigated with Wastewater of Corresponding Industries

Food colors are considered the most important component of foodstuff for enhancing aesthetic appeal products. The rapid increase in population raised demand food materials, while wastewater from as-related processing industries is used irrigation. This study was conducted to examine genotoxicity industrial on plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Three predominantly synthetic colors, including Azorubine E-122, Tartrazine E-102 and Allura Red AC E-129, were during this project. Rhizobacteria isolated agricultural soils treated with various concentrations red E-129 a 24 48 h duration. DNA extraction quantification performed through modified CTAB method, spectrophotometry agarose gel electrophoresis. A comet assay check damage. According results, all had caused significant damage depending upon concentration exposure time. extent by E-122 relatively greater compared other so fragmentation rate 86% 92% obtained at 1.25% h, respectively. current results have revealed devastation capacity accelerating distortion risk soil micro-flora, hence fertility soil.
