Abstract Globally, textile industries are one of the major sectors releasing dye pollutants. This is first report on positive correlation between toxicity and chemical oxygen demand (COD) effluent along with proposed pathway for enzymatic degradation acid orange 10 using Geotrichum candidum within a very short stretch time (18 h). Removal efficiency this mycoremedial approach after 18 h in term...

The wastewater that originates from the widespread usage of synthetic dyes in industry have become a severe environmental problem. Several efforts been made to develop new types treatment which are capable performing degradation environment. Within this scope, much attention has drawn enzymatic approaches, mainly ones applying oxidative enzymes, such as peroxidases. A recently discovered superf...

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 ...

The genotoxic and carcinogenic effects of diazo dyes from industrial effluents pose a serious environmental threat by contaminating aquatic ecosystem and consequently impact human health. The potential of a diazo dye resistant, self-sustainable photosynthetic green alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa NCIM 2738 provides a viable green technology for an efficient biodegradation of diazo dye Direct Red-31 ...

In many industrial areas such as in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, printing, and textile, the use of synthetic dyes has been integral with products such as azo dye, anthrax, and dyestuffs. As such, these industries produce a lot of waste by-products that could contaminate the environment. Bioremediation, therefore, has become an important emerging technology due to its cost-sustainable, effect...

Isolated Enterococcus faecalis YZ 66 strain shows ability to decolorize various industrial dyes among which, it showed complete decolorization and degradation of toxic, sulfonated recalcitrant diazo dye Direct Red 81 (50 mg/L) within 1.5 h of incubation under static anoxic condition. The optimum pH and temperature for decolorization was 7.0 and 40°C, respectively. Significant induction in the a...

A novel extracellular laccase enzyme produced from Spirulina platensis CFTRI was purified by ultrafiltration, cold acetone precipitation, anion exchange and size exclusion chromatography with 51.5% recovery and 5.8 purification fold. The purified laccase was a monomeric protein with molecular mass of ~66 kDa that was confirmed by zymogram analysis and peptide mass fingerprinting. The optimum pH...
