S. No. | Microorganisms | Dye type | Results | Ref. |
1 | White rot fungus Pleurotus eryngii F032 | Naphthalene | 1,4-Naphthaquinone, benzoic acid and catechol are metabolites resulting from naphthalene biodegradation. The optimal decolorization was attained at pH 3 and 40˚C. | |
2 | White rot fungus Coriolopsis sp. (1c3) | Triphenylmethane dyes (TPM) | 94%, 97% and 91% decolorization was observed for Crystal Violet (CV; 100 mg/l), Methyl Violet (MV; 100 mg/l) and Cotton Blue (CB; 50 mg/L), within 7, 7 and 1 day(s) respectively. | |
3 | Aspergillus niger | Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) and Acid Red 299 (NY1) | Recombinant and native laccases showed similar decolorization (40% - 60%) for Remazol Brilliant Blue R within 200 min. | |
4 | Pseudomonas sp. | Reactive Blue 13 | 83% decolorization at HRT of 70 h. | |
5 | Aeromonas jandaei SCS5 | Methyl red (MR) | Complete decolorization of MR at 100 mg/L and HRT of 6 h. | |
6 | Bacterial mixed cultures SB4 | Remozol Orange | Decolorized 0.2 µg/L of RV5 in ~18 h. | |
