Abstract:Biodcolorization of crystal violet (C V) was investigated in aquatic system. C V decolorizing bacterium (designated isolate AT 17) was isolated from effluent sample using enrichment technique by clear zone formation. Based on morphological, physiological and 16S rDNA, this bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas geniculata. It was capable of using C V as a sole source of carbon. Nutrient agar medium inhibited C V decolorization but mineral salt medium (MSM) increased C V decolorization. C V decolorizing by P. … Show more
