Evaluation of bacteria isolated from textile wastewater and rhizosphere to simultaneously degrade azo dyes and promote plant growth

Abstract: BACKGROUND: The release of untreated textile effluent to the environment and its subsequent application to cropland poses a serious threat to human health. Various bacterial species contained in the effluent can degrade azo dyes; however, no work has been done to elucidate the role of these bacteria for plant growth promotion (PGP). This study was designed to isolate and evaluate bacterial strains carrying dual traits for azo dye degradation and PGP. RESULTS: About 468 bacterial isolates were collected from te… Show more

“…Reactive Black 5 (dye content ≥ 50%, Sigma-Aldrich, RB5) is the commonly used azo-dye chosen as model molecule to examine bacterial decolorization capability [3]. Rhizospheric strains were thus tested for RB5 decolorization capacity, while a selection of these rhizospheric strains was also tested for the capacity to decolorize different dyes used by a textile company located in Tunisia: Bezactive rouge S-Matrix, Tubantin blue and Blue S-2G.…”

“…Azo-dyes, which are the most used dyes in the textile manufacturing, are xenobiotic compounds highly recalcitrant to degradation processes: their improper discharge in aqueous ecosystems leads to a reduction in water sunlight penetration, which decreases photosynthetic activity and dissolved oxygen concentration, besides having toxic effects on aquatic flora and fauna [2]. These synthetic molecules, which are also applied in other commercial sectors such as printing, cosmetics and food industries [3,4], represent a relevant environmental and health issue, in particular in those countries where wastewater is used for irrigation purposes without prior proper treatments [3]. Reactive azo-dyes are recalcitrant to conventional wastewater treatment processes and in some cases up to 90% of these molecules could remain unprocessed after activated sludge treatment [5].…”

“…Consequently, the success of any quality management scheme chiefly depends upon how thoroughly wastewaters are characterized and how effective and sustainable the selected treatment scheme is to comply with the effluent limitations. Textile activities usually generate strong wastewaters in terms of their organic carbon (COD) and color content and they are subject to stringent effluent limitations …”
