The Decolorization of Synthetic Dyes with Immobilized Bacillus species

Decolorization of industrial synthetic dyes using engineered Pseudomonas putida cells with surface-immobilized bacterial laccase

BACKGROUND Microbial laccases are highly useful in textile effluent dye biodegradation. However, the bioavailability of cellularly expressed or purified laccases in continuous operations is usually limited by mass transfer impediment or enzyme regeneration difficulty. Therefore, this study develops a regenerable bacterial surface-displaying system for industrial synthetic dye decolorization, an...

Decolorization of Six Synthetic Dyes by Fungi

Corresponding Author: Mika A. Kähkönen Department of Food and Environmental Sciences, Division of Microbiology and Biotechnology, P.O. Box 56, Biocenter 1, FI 00014 University of Helsinki, Finland Email: [email protected] Abstract: To find out ability of fourteen basidiomycetes and four ascomycetes strains to grow in the presence of synthetic colour dyes and to degrade them, fungi were ...

Decolorization of synthetic dyes by laccase immobilized on epoxy-activated carriers

Recent Advances in Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Decolorization of Synthetic Dyes

During the process and operation of the dyes, the wastes produced were commonly found to contain organic and inorganic impurities leading to risks in the ecosystem and biodiversity with the resultant impact on the environment. Improper effluent disposal in aqueous ecosystems leads to reduction of sunlight penetration which in turn diminishes photosynthetic activity, resulting in acute toxic eff...

Decolorization of two synthetic dyes using the purified laccase of Paraconiothyrium variabile immobilized on porous silica beads

BACKGROUND Decolorization of hazardous synthetic dyes using laccases in both free and immobilized form has gained attention during the last decades. The present study was designed to prepare immobilized laccase (purified from Paraconiothyrium variabile) on porous silica beads followed by evaluation of both free and immobilized laccases for decolorization of two synthetic dyes of Acid Blue 25 an...
