Aerobic biodegradation of azo dye Acid Black-24 by Bacillus halodurans.

Decolorization 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...

Biodegradation of the diazo dye Reactive Black 5 by a wild isolate of Candida oleophila

This work looks for a better understanding of the biodegradation of xenobiotic azo dyes mediated by yeasts. During a screening program of phenolic acid assimilating capacities it was found that a non-conventional ascomycetous yeast isolate, identified as Candida oleophila, efficiently decolorizes agar plates supplemented with the commercial textile diazo dye Reactive Black 5. Aerobic batch cult...

Degradation of Azo Dye Reactive Black 5 and Acid Orange 7 by Fenton-Like Mechanism

Bioremedial Application of Bacillus Megaterium PMS82 in Microbial Degradation of Acid Orange Dye

A potential bacterial strain PMS82, capable of degrading an azo dye Acid orange as a sole source of carbon was isolated from common effluent treatment plant of Ankleshwar, India. The 16S rDNA sequence and phenotypic characteristics indicated that an isolated organism as Bacillus megaterium PMS82. This strain exhibited complete decolorization of Acid orange (100 mg/L) within 16 h, while maximall...

Biodegradation and detoxification of textile azo dyes by bacterial consortium under sequential microaerophilic/aerobic processes

Release of textile azo dyes to the environment is an issue of health concern while the use of microorganisms has proved to be the best option for remediation. Thus, in the present study, a bacterial consortium consisting of Providencia rettgeri strain HSL1 and Pseudomonas sp. SUK1 has been investigated for degradation and detoxification of structurally different azo dyes. The consortium showed ...
