A potential bacterial strain GSM2, capable of degrading an azo dye Reactive Violet 5 as a sole source of carbon, was isolated from textile mill effluent from Solapur, India. The 16S rDNA sequence and phenotypic characteristics indicated an isolated organism as Paracoccus sp. GSM2. This strain exhibited complete decolorization of Reactive Violet 5 (100 mg/L) within 16 h, while maximally it could...

Dyes are synthetic organic compounds widely used in various industries such as, textile, leather, plastic, food, pharmaceutical, and paints manufacturing industries. Coloured effluents are highly toxic to the aquatic life and mutagenic to humans. Wastewater containing dyes has become an important issue demanding serious attention. Among the synthetic dyes, azo dyes are the largest and most wide...

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...

Azo dyes are widely used in textile industries. Removal of the color from textile waste water is a striking issue. To curb this issue, biological treatment can be employed rather than physicochemical processes. In this work, Bacillus subtilis is used to degrade the reactive dye – RED M5B. It is found that decolorization was due the action of enzyme peroxidase produced by the organisms during it...

A dye-decolorizing bacterium was isolated from a soil sample and identified as Bacillus thuringiensis using 16S rRNA sequencing. The bacterium was able to decolorize three different textile dyes, namely, Reactive blue 13, Reactive red 58, and Reactive yellow 42, and a real dyehouse effluent up to 80-95% within 6 h. Some non-textile industrially important dyes were also decolorized to different ...

In this work, treatment of textile dye wastewater was carried in a batch reactor using Ganoderma lucidum. The characteristics of textile dye wastewater were studied. The effect of process parameters like pH, temperature, agitation speed and dye wastewater concentration on dye decolourization and degradation were studied. These parameters were optimized using response surface methodology (RSM). ...

Water plays a vital and essential role in our ecosystem. This natural resource is becoming scarce, making its availability a major social and economic concern. Use of a large variety of synthetic dyes in textile industries has raised an hazardous environmental alert. About 17 - 20% of freshwater pollution is caused by textile effluents. These effluents are recalcitrant to biodegradation and cau...

Biological removal of dyes has been advocated due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and low operational requirements in comparison physicochemical methods treating dye effluents. This paper aims compare the efficiency biological using bacteria, algae, fungi, including yeasts, besides presenting recent advances field. reviewed scholarly articles published mainly between 2010 2021. It found ...

Two kinds of fluorescent hyaluronan (HA) analogs, one serving as normal imaging agent and the other used as a biosensitive contrast agent, were developed for the investigation of HA uptake and degradation. Our approach of developing HA imaging agents depends on labeling HA with varying molar percentages of a near-infrared (NIR) dye. At low labeling ratios, the hyaluronan uptake can be directly ...
