Decolorization of Brilliant Blue G dye mediated by degradation of the microbial consortium of Galactomyces geotrichum and Bacillus sp. (2008, background): “Inefficiency of the dyeing processes, poor handling of spent effluent and insufficient treatment of wastes of the dyestuff industries lead to dye contamination of the environment such as soil and natural water bodies (Nigam et al., 1996a).”
Evaluation of different fungal strains in the decolourisation of synthetic dyes (2000, background): “Under anaerobic conditions, an adapted anaerobic sludge was found to be able to mineralise an azo dye after prolonged operational periods ( Nigam et al. 1996, Razo-Flores et al. 1996).”
Effect of oxygen on decolorization of azo dyes by Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas sp. and fate of aromatic amines (2003, background): “Several research groups have recently demonstrated the possibility of utilizing special microbial communities for the decolorization of azo dyes [8,22].”
The removal of colour from textile wastewater using whole bacterial cells: a review (2003, background): “Commomonas acidovorans 67–89% decoloration of reactive dyes under anaerobic conditions [25] (1996)”
