Decolorization and biodegradation of triphenylmethane dye, brilliant green, by Aspergillus sp. isolated from Ladakh, India

Microbial Degradation of Basic Dyes in Wastewaters

“…Majority of the studies have used glucose at a concentration of 5-10 g l −1 . Fructose, maltose, sucrose, xylose, cellobiose, arabinose, mannitol, glycerol, starch and carboxymethyl cellulose were also used as alternate carbon sources in different decolorization studies (Kumar et al 2011). However, cellulose and its derivatives were not found effective.…”

“…White-rot fungi can use both inorganic and organic nitrogen sources. Several reports have indicated that in most cases, the rapidly metabolizable inorganic nitrogen sources, like sodium or ammonium salts, are used for microbial growth and dye decolorization, since the use of organic nitrogen supplementation is costintensive (Radha et al 2005;Kumar et al 2012). An increased dose of nitrogen source inhibited decolorization of Congo red (Tatarko and Bumpus 1998), while nitrogen supplementation had no effect on dye decolorization by Cyathus bulleri (Vasdev et al 1995).…”

“…In case of Bacillus subtilis IFO 13719 (Yatome et al 1991) and Nocardia corallina IAM 12121 (Yatome et al 1993), the major Methyl violet biodegradation products were identified as 4,4-bis-dimethylamine benzophenone (Michler's ketone) and α-dimethylaminophenol. Later, detailed investigations were performed on Methyl violet (Kumar et al 2011) and Brilliant green (Kumar et al 2012) degradation using Aspergillus sp. strain CB-TKL-1.…”

Biodegradation of Synthetic Dyes: A Mycoremediation Approach for Degradation/Decolourization of Textile Dyes and Effluents

“…Microorganisms are able to degrade synthetic dyes to noncoloured compounds or even mineralize them completely under certain environmental conditions Bioremediation is one of the most effective and successful cleaning techniques for the removal of toxicants from polluted environments [12][13][14]. The microbial degradation of textile dyes has been reported using different microorganisms including bacteria, yeasts and filamentous fungi [3,15,16].…”

Decolorization of Methylene Blue and Malachite Green by Immobilized Desmodesmus sp. Isolated from North Jordan

“…Conventional methods such as chemical precipitation, chemical coagulation, chemical oxidation and adsorption have limited use as they are cost-intensive and generate large amounts of solid waste, resulting in higher pollution potential than the effluents [9]- [11], and these methods are usually effective only if the effluent volume is small [12]. In such cases, biological processes are good alternatives for dye removal [9], [13].…”
