Azo Dyes: Characterization and Toxicity- A Review (2013, background): “Some studies [136-139] showed that some species of yeasts, such as Candida zeylanoides, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Issatchenkia occidentalis, have the ability to cleave the azo bonds of azo dyes, originating aromatic amines, by reduction mechanism similar to those of several bacteria.”
Removal of synthetic dyes from wastewaters: a review. (2004, background): “…Aksu and Donmez (2003) (29) Candida tropicalis Reactive Black 5, Reactive Blue 19, Reactive Red Donmez (2002) (30) Candida zeylanoides Acid Orange 7 Ramalho et al.

Combined effects of molasses sucrose and reactive dye on the growth and dye bioaccumulation properties of Candida tropicalis (2005, background): “Reactive azo dyes are electron deficient in nature and this property makes them less susceptible to oxidative catabolism [1–3,5,6,8–14].”
Decolourization and Detoxification of Methyl Red by Aerobic Bacteria from A Wastewater Treatment Plant (2004, background): “Azo dyes are designed to resist chemical and microbial attacks (Chagas & Durrant 2001; Ramalho et al. 2002 ), and to be stable in light and during washing (Rajaguru et al. 2000).”
Microbial decolorization and degradation of synthetic dyes: a review (2013, background): “Ramalho et al. (2002) reported that Candida zeylanoides could effectively decolorize four model azo dyes but with relatively long time (40–60 h).”
