“…There are around 10,000 different industrial dyes and pigments, totaling an annual world consumption of 700,000 tons (Pearce et al, 2003), 26,500 tons of which are consumed in Brazil (Guaratini and Zanoni, 2000). Reactive Blue 5G is one of the main dyes used in dyeing facilities since it is used in the production of blue denim.…”

“…The percentage removal of colour by S.aureus was 90.02% and that of E.coli was 88.7% at 37 0 C. Further increase in temperature resulted in the marginal reduction of decolourisation by S.aureus and E.coli. This is due to the loss of cell viability or to the denaturation of the azoreductase enzyme [8].…”

“…Several physico-chemical processes such as adsorption, chemical oxidation, filtration and incineration are used to treat wastewater containing dyes and dye products. These methods are rather expensive and produce hazardous byproducts [7] Biological decolourisation by fungi, algae, actinomycets and higher plants has been tried and seems to be an attractive method, because of their metabolic pathways and versatility of the microorganism [8]. The possibility of using bacteria to decolourise wastewater containing dyes is more advantageous, due to the presence of azoreductase enzyme which has the ability to degrade azo compounds.…”

“…All of these processes are expensive and complicated. Therefore, there is a need for economical and simple methods to abolish harmful dyes in effluents [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
