Smooth strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1, Shigella flexneri, Shigella boydii, and Shigella sonnei which form pigmented colonies (Pcr+) on Congo red agar were virulent in the Sereny test. Smooth variants unable to bind Congo red (Pcr-) were avirulent. Measurements of dye uptake from solution showed that S. dysenteriae type 1 bound the most dye, followed in order of uptake by S. flexneri, S....

Biological treatment, especially enzymatic methods, can be employed for effective and environmental- friendly treatment of dye effluents. Laccase, belonging to the blue multi-copper oxidases category, can oxidize a wide variety of substrates, especially synthetic dyes. In this study, laccase was used to biodegrade two azo dyes, i.e., Direct Red 23 and Acid Blue 92. Before conducting the exp...

Study on the photocatalytic decolorization of aqueous solution of Direct Red 23, a commercial azo-reactive textile dye, in the presence of UV light radiation. The effect of different reaction parameters on the photo catalyst of DR 23 was assessed best operational parameters were observed as photons: catalyst loading 1gm-3.0gm/50ml, pH 3.5-11.5, temperature 303k,dye concentration10mg/50ml-70mg/5...

Backgroud and purpose: Dye is one of the problems of industrial effluent such as textile industries. The dyes can be removed by various methods. Therefore, the aim of this study was the evaluation of adsorption rate of reactive red 198 from aqueous solution by activated red mud. Materials and methods: This research was a lab study. Activated red mud was used as an adsorbent to remove reactive r...

Twenty avian Escherichia coli isolates from normal and diseased chickens were compared by use of three virulence tests. These tests included the uptake of Congo red dye, an embryo lethality test, and a quantitative microtiter complement resistance test. A direct correlation was seen between the results of the complement resistance test and the embryo lethality test. The results of the Congo red...

Selective polymeric extractants were prepared for preconcentration of Cibacron reactive red dye, a dye that is often applied with Cibacron reactive blue and Cibacron reactive yellow for dyeing of fabrics. The best extractant was fabricated (in chloroform) using methacrylic acid (as monomer), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (as crosslinker), AIBN (as initiator for polymerization), and red dye as ...

N ASSOCIATION between hepatocellular carcinoma and pol cythemia was reported in 1958 by McFadzean, Todd and Tsang’ who found the red cell mass to be increased in 17 of 28 patients investigated. The red cell masses were calculated from the plasma volumes determined by the T-1824 dye method. When radioactive isotopes became available it was decided further to investigate the red cell mass in hepa...

background: recently, there has been a great concern about the consumption of dyes because of their toxicity, mutagenicity, carcinogenicity, and persistence in the aquatic environment. reactive dyes are widely used in textile industry. advanced oxidation processes are one of the cost-effective methods for the removal of these dyes. the main aims of this study were determining the feasibility of...

industrial effluents, especially the textile industry are discussed as one of the fundamental problems of the environment .dyes are materials with complex structures that enter into the wastewater from different stages of the textile industry. colors are often toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic. this study investigated the absorption efficiency of reactive red 198 dye from aqueous solutions by p...
