Microbial Degradation of Malachite green Dye
2018
Jatinder Kumar
The microbial decolorization of dyes has been of considerable interest in biological treatment of the wastewater containing dyes. The bacterial isolate, Bacillussp.was isolated from the textile effluent sample. Different parameters such as various carbon sources, nitrogen sources, temperature andpH were optimized for decolorization of malachite green by using this bacterial isolate.Bacillussp. showedmaximum dye decolorizationof about86% at 30°C and pH 7 after 8 days of incubation.Maximum decolourization of malachite green (75.80%) was observed when urea was used as nitrogen source. High decolorization extent showed the potential of the bacterial strain to be used in the decolourization of malachite green dye.
