Decolorization of Brilliant Blue G dye mediated by degradation of the microbial consortium of Galactomyces geotrichum and Bacillus sp
نویسندگان
چکیده
A consortium-GB containing two microorganisms Galactomyces geotrichum MTCC 1360 and Bacillus sp. VUS was able to degrade sulfurcontaining dye Brilliant Blue G, optimally at pH 9 and temperature at 50 8C. The ability of consortium-GB to work at higher temperature and pH ranges will help in using this consortium for removal of the dye from textile effluent. Malt extract, peptone and beef extract were found to be the best additional carbon and nitrogen sources. Brilliant Blue G caused enhancement of the riboflavin reductase among the enzyme activities studied. Biodegradation was confirmed by analyzing the product using UV–vis, HPLC, and FTIR. The GC–MS study revealed a pathway of Brilliant Blue G with release of (4-ethoxy-phenyl)-phenyl-amine and 3-ethylaminomethyl-benzenesulfonic acid as final metabolites formed by the consortiumGB. GC–MS analysis indicated the formation of 3-{[ethyl-(3-methyl-cyclohexa-2,5-dienyl)-amino]-methyl}-benzenesulfonic acid as a product by G. geotrichum MTCC 1360 alone and (4-benzylidene-3-methyl-cyclohexa-2,5-dienylidene)-methyl-amine by Bacillus sp. VUS alone. Phytotoxicity revealed nontoxic nature of the metabolites. These results indicate the high potential of the consortium-GB to serve as an excellent biomass for the use in Brilliant Blue G dye removal. # 2008 Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers.

Congo red is a synthetic azo-dye dye with many industrial applications. The effluents containing azo dyes are causing several environmental hazards and thus should be treated prior to their discharge. The present work investigates the possible use of a novel microbial consortium from sheep compost for the decolorization of Congo red dye. The effect of different parameters including contact time...
متن کاملDecolorization of Methyl Orange (As a Model Azo Dye) by the Newly Discovered Bacillus Sp
A bacterial strain (strain PS) was isolated from the textile effluents carrying Serilene Black BNFS® (C.I. Disp. Blk. Mix) disperse dye. The isolate was able to decolorize the dye without the need for any exogenous carbon source. Full sequencing of its 16S rRNA indicated that Bacillus sp strain PS is related to Bacillus cereus groups. Silica- gel-thin layer chromatography of Ser...

Mix consortia of Bacillus sp was used to decolorize Direct Blue dye 2B. The bacterial cultures exhibited 60 % decolorization ability within 48 h at temperature 40 o C and pH 7. Maximum rate of decolorization was observed (60%) when starch was supplemented in the medium. Decolorization of Direct Blue dye 2B was monitored by TLC, which indicated that dye decolorization was due to its degradation ...
