Microbial decolorization and degradation of synthetic dyes: a review (2013, background): “…rate, probably due to the toxic effect of dyes with regard to the individual bacteria and/or inadequate biomass concentration (or improper cell to dye ratio), as well as blockage of active sites of azoreductase by dye molecules with different structures (Sani and Banerjee 1999; Tony et al. 2009a).”
Microbial biotechnology for decolorization of textile wastewaters (2015, unknown): “Although pure cultures of bacteria are capable of decolorizing textile wastewater, sometimes mixed cultures perform better than pure cultures due to synergistic metabolic activities (Tony et al. 2009).”
Treatment of reconstituted textile wastewater containing a reactive dye in an aerobic sequencing batch reactor using a novel bacterial consortium (2012, background): “Wastewater from textile industry has a high environmental impact and therefore needs to be treated before being discharged in the environment or planning any reuse [4,5].”
