“…In the recent years, a number of studies have focused on using some microorganisms (Chen et al., 2003; Acuner and Dilek, 2004; Mishra and Malik, 2014; Shen et al., 2015; Kurade et al., 2017; Veena et al., 2019) for degrading and absorbing dyes from wastewater. A wide variety of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, yeast and algae are able to decolorize and degrade a wide range of dyes (Ayed et al., 2010; Kabra et al., 2011; Patel et al., 2013; Saratale et al., 2013; Veena et al., 2019). Under certain conditions, bacteria can rapidly degrade and even completely mineralize many reactive dyes (Chen et al., 2003; Asad et al., 2007; Jadhav et al., 2011; Kurade et al., 2012; Barapatre et al., 2017).…”
