The use of azo dyes is popular in different branches of industry. Discharge of colourants to surface water cause harmful environmental effects. The aim of the present study was evaluation of effectiveness of diazo Evans blue decolourization by two Pseudomonas strains and estimation of process byproducts toxicity. In static conditions, both tested strains removed more than 85 % of dye after 48 h and completely decolorized samples after 120 h. Agitation had negative impact on Evans blue removal (less than 70 % of dye removed after 120 h). Ecotoxicological effects were different for both studied strains beside comparable decolourization effectiveness. Increase of zootoxicity was noticed for strain Sz6 and decrease from IV to III class was noticed for strain SDz3. Optimization of process conditions for the most promising strain SDz3 should be deeply examined.
