Manganese peroxidase (MnP) is the one of the important ligninolytic enzymes produced by lignin-degrading fungi which has the great application value in the field of environmental biotechnology. Searching for new MnP with stronger tolerance to metal ions and organic solvents is important for the maximization of potential of MnP in the biodegradation of recalcitrant xenobiotics. In this study, it...

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 ...

Different technologies may be used for decolorization of wastewater containing dyes. Among them, biological processes are the most promising because they seem to be environmentally safe. The aim of this study was to determine the efficiency of decolorization of two dyes belonging to different classes (azo and triphenylmethane dyes) by immobilized biomass of strains of fungi (Pleurotus ostreatus...

Azo dyes are generally resistant to biodegradation due to their complex structures. Acid orange II is one of the most widely used dyes in the textile industry. The influence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in different concentrations, pH, and time of contact on Orange II was investigated using kinetics and adsorption-isotherm experiments. The results showed that the maximum colour removed from dy...

Azo dyes in textile industry effluent are one of the major toxic contaminants causing a severe threat to life. Bioremediation is most cost-effective and environmentally beneficial innovative biotechnologically technique used mitigate dyes’ effects aquatic environments. The purpose present study was determine azo degradation potential ciliate, Paramecium caudatum, isolated from industrial wastew...

Pollutants in dye wastewater significantly vary due to the large number of dyes and other chemical compounds used in dyeing processes. The major compounds in dye wastewater are desizing and scouring agents, bleaches, reducing agents, detergents and wetting agents, finishing agents, organic acids and dyes, and fluorescent brighteners1). Physical, chemical and biological methods have been applied...

We have investigated the appearance of specific nonhistone proteins during azo dye-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in the rat. Groups of animals fed azo dye-containing diet were sacrificed at approximately 3-week intervals, portions of their livers were examined histologically, and the remaining material was fractionated into chromatin and cytoplasmic fractions. Livers of the azo dye-fed animals e...

The localization of acid phosphatase during xylem development has been examined in the bean, Phaseolus vulgaris. The azo dye, the final reaction product, is initially prominent in the dictyosomes, vesicles apparently participating in secondary wall formation, and in the middle lamella of the young vessel element. Final reaction particles are also present in mitochondria, chloroplasts, and certa...

1. The incorporation of (14)C-labelled amino acids into polysomal protein was studied in a system consisting of polysomes and pH5 enzyme obtained 4 and 40hr. after a single intraperitoneal injection of 4-dimethylamino-3'-methylazobenzene. Labelling of the polysome fraction of preparations of both the 4hr.-treated and 40hr.-treated rats was considerably higher than in the normal control. 2. In f...

DOI: 10.22631/chemm.2017.96853.1009 Quantum-chemical calculations using the Density Functional Theory (DFT) approach for structural analysis of the new dichroic mono azo dye: Sodium (E)-5-((4carboxylatophenyl)diazenyl)-2-hydroxybenzoate (S) (trans isomer) was carried out using B3LYP methods with 6-311+G* basis set. After calculations, the new mono azo dye was synthesized. UV, FT-IR and 1H NMR s...
