Adsorption of Dyes on Magnetically Labeled Baker’s Yeast Cells

INTRODUCTION: Textile industry (and especially its part focused on the dyeing process) belongs among important sources of contamination responsible for the continuous pollution of the environment. The production of textile industry, as well as the volume of waste water containing processed textile dyes, steadily increases. The release of dyes into the environment constitutes only a small proportion of water pollution, but dyes are visible in small quantities due to their brilliance. Many dyes reaching the water sources are difficult to decompose and may cause problems due to their possible carcinogenicity etc. That’s why the control of water pollution has become more important in the last years [1].
