Singh A, Manikandan SK, Nair V. Mechanistic studies on bioremediation of dye using Aeromonas veronii immobilized peanut shell biochar. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 262:119908. [PMID: 39233033 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.119908] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/31/2024] [Indexed: 09/06/2024]
Abstract
Recalcitrant chemicals in the environment not only present obstacles to living organisms but also contribute to the degradation of natural resources. One contribution to environmental pollution is the discharge of synthetic dyes from the textile sector. This study investigates the combined effect of microbial cells and biochar on eliminating methyl orange (MO) dye. The immobilization of Aeromonas veronii on peanut shell biochar (APSB) was conducted to investigate its efficacy in removing MO dye from water. PSB synthesized by pyrolysis at 300 °C for 120 min showed maximum bacterial immobilization potential. The highest degradation rate of 96.19 % was achieved in APSB within 96 h using MO dye concentration of 100 mg L-1, incubation temperature of 37 °C, pH 7, and biocatalyst dosage of 1g L-1. In comparison, free cells achieved degradation rates of 72.53 % and 61.56 % for PSB. Moreover, the adsorption process was primarily controlled by PSB, with subsequent dye mineralization by A. veronii, as supported by FTIR and LC-MS studies. Moreover, this innovative approach exhibited the reusability of the biocatalyst, giving 76.23 % removal after fifth cycle, suggesting sustainable alternative in dye remediation and potential option for real-time applications.

Abstract
Weather radiosondes play a crucial role in gathering atmospheric data for weather modeling and forecasting. However, their impact on marine wildlife, particularly seabirds, has raised concerns regarding the potential threats posed by these instruments. This study aims to assess the adverse effects of weather balloons on albatrosses, with a focus on the Southwest Atlantic region. The research reveals seven cases of entanglement of radiosonde equipment, leading to severe injuries and mortality along the Southern and Southeastern coasts of Brazil. Recommendations for mitigating the environmental impact of weather balloons include the adoption of biodegradable materials in their design and the implementation of improved retrieval protocols. Furthermore, the study stresses the importance of continued monitoring and research to address the interaction of weather radiosondes with marine animals. This approach is vital for ensuring the sustainable collection of scientific data while minimizing harm to marine life and ecosystems.

Abstract
This research was performed to assess the physicochemical properties of textile effluents collected from different sampling points (industrial park, Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India) and also evaluate the multiple metal tolerance efficiency of pre-isolated Aspergillus flavus. Moreover, their textile effluent decolourization potential was investigated and quantity and temperature required for effective bioremediation was optimized. About 5 textile effluent samples (S0, S1, S2, S3, and S4) were collected from various sampling points and noted that certain physicochemical properties (pH: 9.64 ± 0.38, Turbidity: 18.39 ± 1.4 NTU, Cl-: 3185.38 ± 15.8 mg L-1, BOD: 82.52 ± 6.9 mg L-1, COD: 342.28 ± 8.9 mg L-1, Ni: 74.21 ± 4.31 mg L-1, Cr: 48.52 ± 18.34 mg L-1, Cd: 34.85 ± 1.2 mg L-1, Zn: 25.52 ± 2.4 mg L-1, Pb: 11.25 ± 1.5 mg L-1, Hg: 1.8 ± 0.05 mg L-1, and As: 7.1 ± 0.41 mg L-1) were beyond the permissible limits. The A. flavus, showed remarkable metal tolerance to Pb, As, Cr, Ni, Cu, Cd, Hg, and Zn on PDA plates with elevated dosage up to 1000 μg mL-1. The optimal dosage required for effective decolourization was found as 3 g (48.2%) and compare to dead biomass (42.1%) of A. flavus, the viable biomass showed remarkable decolourization activity on textile effluents in a short duration of treatment process. The optimal temperature for effective decolourization by viable biomass was found at 32 ᵒC. The toxic effects of S4 samples treated at 32 ᵒC on O. sativa as well as brine shrimp larvae were significantly reduced. These findings show that pre-isolated A. flavus viable biomass can be used to decolorize metal-enriched textile effluent. Furthermore, the effectiveness of their metals remediation should be investigated using ex-situ and ex-vivo approaches.

Abstract
The Fe75B12.5Si12.5 and Fe75B12.5C12.5 amorphous alloy ribbons were prepared by the melt spinning method. The decolorization performances of these ribbons were investigated in details. It is found that the Fe75B12.5C12.5 amorphous ribbons and Fe75B12.5Si12.5 annealed ribbons only adsorbed the azo dye molecules, with no chemical degradation process. However, the Fe75B12.5Si12.5 amorphous ribbons can reduce -N = N- to -NH2 because of their high reactivity and the local galvanic effect that occurred during the reaction to accelerate electron transfer. The reaction rate constant kobs is 0.0872 min-1, 0.0474 min-1, and 0.0064 min-1 for Fe75B12.5Si12.5 amorphous ribbons, Fe75B12.5C12.5 amorphous ribbons, and Fe75B12.5Si12.5 annealed ribbons in the same condition, respectively. Fe75B12.5Si12.5 amorphous ribbons can effectively degrade Acid Orange II (AO II) azo dyes and achieve decolorization by breaking azo bonds in the dye in a short time, indicating the prominent capacity of Fe75B12.5Si12.5 ribbons on the degradation of AO II. Furthermore, the influence of chemical factors such as ribbons thickness, reaction temperature, initial pH, and AO II concentration of the solution on the reaction rate constant kobs of Fe75B12.5Si12.5 amorphous ribbons had also been studied. The kobs can reach 0.177 min-1 under optimal conditions. In addition, all the degradation processes in this work were fitted well with the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The results are guidance for the practical applications, and they have important implications in developing Fe-based amorphous alloys for functional application materials in the field of wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Shewanella is a microbial group with high potential to be applied in textile effluents bioremediation due to its ability to use a wide variety of substrates as a final electron acceptor in respiration. The present research aimed to describe a new strain, Shewanella algae 2NE11, a decolorizing bacterium isolated from industrial effluent in Peru. S. algae 2NE11 showed an optimal growth under pH 6-9, temperature between 30-40 °C, and 0-4 % NaCl. It can tolerate high concentrations of NaCl until 10% and low temperatures as 4 °C. It decolorizes azo and anthraquinone dyes with a decolorization rate of 89-97%. We performed next-generation sequencing (Pacific Bioscience®) and achieved its complete genome sequence with a length of 5,030,813bp and a GC content of 52.98%. Genomic characterization revealed the presence of protein-coding genes related to decolorization like azoreductase, dyp-peroxidase, oxidoreductases, and the complete Mtr respiratory pathway. Likewise, we identified other properties such as the presence of metal resistant genes, and genes related to lactate and N-acetylglucosamine metabolism. These results highlight its potential to be applied in the bioremediation of textile effluents and guide future research on decolorization metabolic pathways.

Abstract
Despite the widespread use of primary aromatic amines (AAs) in consumer products, little is known about their prevalence in house dust. In this study, we investigated the occurrence of 35 AAs and two tobacco chemical markers (nicotine and its breakdown product cotinine) in 119 samples of house dust collected from five provinces in China. Ten of the 35 AAs and [nicotine and cotinine] were found in >80% and 100% of the samples, respectively, at concentration ranges of 29.1-19,200 (median: 700 ng/g) and 23.2-22,400 (4600) ng/g, respectively. Aniline was the predominant AA found in all dust samples (median: 257 ng/g). Dust samples from Henan and Shanxi provinces contained higher summed concentrations of the 10 AAs than those from Sichuan and Shandong, although the concentrations did not vary significantly among the five provinces (p > 0.05). A significant (p = 0.048), positive correlation (r = 0.882) existed between concentrations of nicotine and cotinine in dust samples. Similarly, concentrations of AAs were significantly correlated with those of nicotine in dust samples. Dyestuffs, rubber products, polyurethane foam and tobacco smoke are the major sources of AAs in the indoor environment. The estimated daily intakes (EDI) through dust ingestion ranged from 0.349 (adults) to 6.62 ng/kg-bw/day (toddlers) for AAs and from 1.27 to 51.1 ng/kg-bw/day for nicotine which are well below the current tolerable daily intakes.

Abstract
Herein, an expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactor with activated carbon (AC)-nano manganese dioxide (MnO2) added was employed for azo dye wastewater treatment to investigate its effectiveness at decolorizing of azo dyes and removing COD. The results showed that the treatment of azo dye wastewater with the AC-MnO2 modified EGSB reactor gave an 83% average decolorization efficiency, which was more efficient than the pure AC modified EGSB reactor. Moreover, the COD removal and changes in the intermediate products were controlled by AC-MnO2. Additionally, there was a sharp increase in the sludge conductivity, while there was a significant decrease in the coenzyme F420 concentration with long-term operation. Moreover, electrochemical analysis showed that the addition of AC-MnO2 can enhance electron transfer in anaerobic system. The AC-MnO2 can act as redox mediator; in the presence of the Mn4+/Mn2+ cycle, accelerating the electron transfer between the microbial cells and dyes, thereby promoting the decolorization of azo dyes. This caused a decrease in the methanogenic activity. Furthermore, high-throughput sequencing showed that the relative abundances of Pseudomonas and Desulfovibrio were significantly high among the acidogenic bacteria community, while Methanobacterium and Methanosaeta had very low abundances from among the methanogenic archaea community.

Abstract
Reactive dyes are widely utilized in the textile industry due to their advantageous properties of vivid color, water-fastness, and simple application procedures with minimal energy usage. The toxicity of most azo dyes is a significant environmental concern, as effluents from dye processing and manufacturing sectors are known to be carcinogenic and mutagenic to numerous species. These issues are more grievous in Bangladesh, one of the largest exporters of apparel. This study aimed to isolate and identify potential fungal strains from textile effluent that are capable of degrading Reactive Red HE7B dye (a sulphonated reactive azo dye), a widely used dye in local thread dyeing industries. Dye degradation assay was performed in potato dextrose broth supplemented with 50 mg/l Reactive Red HE7B and the degradation rate was measured by a UV spectrophotometer. DNA extraction, quantification, PCR, internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequencing, and phylogenetic analysis were performed to identify the selected fungi. Among the isolates, the three best performing strains TEF -3, TEF -4, and TEF -5 showed 97.41%, 93.12%, and 82.89% dye degrading efficacy after 96 h of incubation, respectively. All three strains, TEF-3, TEF-4, and TEF-5 showed similarity with Aspergillus salinarus (accession no. NR_157473.1) and the similarity percentages were 97.02, 96.95, and 95.28 respectively. Interestingly, this study probably the very first indication of textile dye degradation by Aspergillus salinarus strains. Thus, these fungal strains possess the prospectiveness to be utilized in the textile wastewater treatment plants, since the isolates demonstrated the substantial capacity (>80%) to degrade Reactive Red dye after 96 h of incubation.

Abstract
In the present work, effect of coexisting anions on the degradation performance of UV/chlorine (UV/Cl) processes as an advanced oxidation treatment for the dye containing wastewater was investigated. The results showed that by increasing pH of the solution from 3 to 11, degradation efficiency of UV/Cl process was reduced from 96.2 ± 1.4% to 62.9 ± 3.1%. In the case of 100 mg/L of DR83:1, the removal efficiency was improved from 30.2 ± 1.5% to 93.3 ± 4.7% when the chlorine dose was increased from 100 to 1000 μM. The HCO₃- and Br- ions were the main inhibitor and promotor anions responsible for the degradation of DR83:1. The relative contribution of Cl• was higher than that for HO• and UV, which was about three-times higher than that for HO•. The lowest and highest amounts of trihalomethanes were generated at acidic and alkaline conditions as well as low disinfection by products at low pH due to the generation of more HO• radicals at acidic pH in comparison to higher pH such that less intermediates were remained to react with chlorine.

Abstract
As dye demand continues to rapidly increase in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paper, textile, and leather industries, an industrialization increase is occurring. Meanwhile, the degradation and removal of azo dyes have raised broad concern regarding the hazards posed by these dyes to the ecological environment and human health. Physicochemical treatments have been applied but are hindered by high energy and economic costs, high sludge production, and chemicals handling. Comparatively, the bioremediation technique is an eco-friendly, removal-efficient, and cost-competitive method to resolve the problem. This paper provides scientific and technical information about recent advances in the biodegradation of azo dyes. It expands the biodegradation efficiency, characteristics, and mechanisms of various microorganisms containing bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and microbial consortia, which have been reported to biodegrade azo dyes. In addition, information about physicochemical factors affecting dye biodegradation has been compiled. Furthermore, this paper also sketches the recent development and characteristics of advanced bioreactors.

Srinivasan S, Sadasivam SK. Biodegradation of textile azo dyes by textile effluent non-adapted and adapted Aeromonas hydrophila. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2021; 194:110643. [PMID: 33385387 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.110643] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2019] [Revised: 11/11/2020] [Accepted: 12/15/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Textile effluent discharged in water and soil have severe effects on living beings as well as environs worldwide. Pioneering, ecologically sustainable and economically viable treatment systems are urgently desired. This study investigated decolorization along with degradation of three azo dyes by non-adapted Aeromonas hydrophila MTCC 1739 and textile-effluent adapted Aeromonas hydrophila SK16 bacteria under optimized physicochemical conditions. UV-visible analysis (for decolorization percentage calculated using absorbance), FTIR (fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for functional group identification), HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography for degraded metabolites analysis based on retention time) and GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for proposing degradative pathways based on mass/charge as well as molecular weight) supported efficient biodegradation of these dyes into simpler metabolites by both cultures. Time taken for decolorization by the adapted strain was less but both were equally efficient in mineralizing dyes, utilizing them as energy source. Enzyme assays revealed over-expression of dye degrading enzymes in presence of toxic azo dyes. Thus, it is suggested that both adapted and non-adapted bacteria act as azo dye degraders with potential use in efficient and lucrative effluent treatment curbing expansive preliminary screening of autochthonous strains for azo dye degradation.

[PMID: 33424369 PMCID: PMC7785453 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2020.11.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Revised: 10/29/2020] [Accepted: 11/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Metabolites of azo dyes are often carcinogenic, teratogenic, mutagenic and recalcitrant in nature. In this study, four biofilm consortia such as C1 (Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301, Acinetobacter lwoffii ENSG302, Klebsiella pneumoniae ENSG303 and Pseudomonas fluorescens ENSG304), C2 (Escherichia coli ENSD101, Enterobacter asburiae ENSD102 and E. ludwigii ENSH201), C3 (E. asburiae ENSD102, Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301 and Bacillus thuringiensis ENSW401), and C4 (E. coli ENSD101, E. ludwigii ENSH201 and B. thuringiensis ENSW401) were applied to degrade and detoxify methyl orange (MO), a carcinogenic, sulfonated mono azo dye, used in textile dyeing industry worldwide. The consortia of C1, C2, C3 and C4 showed 97.30, 98.75, 99.51 and 99.29% decolorization, respectively in yeast extract peptone (YEP) broth containing 200 mg L-1 MO within 60 h of incubation in static condition. The optimum pH and temperature for decolorization was 7.0 and 28 °C, respectively. Some divalent metal ions including Mg2+, Ca2+, Zn2+ and Mn2+ could stimulate MO decolorization. UV-Vis spectral analysis showed that the absorption peak at 465 nm originated from the azo (N[bond, double bond]N) bond was completely disappeared within 60 h of incubation. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results also revealed that several major peaks including azo bond peak at 1602.6 cm-1 are completely or partly vanished, deformed or shifted. Activities of azoreductase, NADH-DCIP reductase and laccase were significantly increased in the bacterial cells within 60 h of incubation in comparison to that of control (0 h). The chemical oxygen demand was incredibly reduced by 85.37 to 91.44% by these consortia. Accordingly, plant (wheat seed germination) and microbial (growth of the plant probiotic bacteria such as Pseudomonas cedrina ESR12 and Bacillus cereus ESD3 on biodegraded products) toxicity studies showed that biodegraded products of MO are non-toxic. Thus, all these consortia can be utilized in bioremediation of MO from wastewater for safe disposal into environment. To our knowledge, this is the first report on degradation and detoxification of MO from wastewater by bacterial biofilm consortia.

Abstract
AbstractTextiles, especially apparel, play an essential role in our daily life. Given that nearly everybody is in contact with clothes and other textiles 24 h a day, they have to be safe. Today’s manufacturing processes depend on the use of many different chemicals, including dyes. An ideal dye would stay within the fabric during use. However, most textile dyes are prone to leaching and wear-off. Ideally, the industry is trying to keep the respective release of dyestuffs as low as possible. Concomitantly, toxicological risk assessment has to evaluate whether the released amounts are safe based on the substance-inherent characteristics and expected levels of exposure. So far, assessments of the latter are mostly based on what little data is available. Although the use of worst-case scenarios makes systematic overestimation likely and thus warrants a sufficiently high level of consumer protection, existing data gaps should be filled in order to end this unsatisfactory situation. Hence, in a first step this paper compiles and analyzes available data on the migration of dyes from textile materials, dermal dye uptake, and possible reductive cleavage of azo dyes by the skin microbiome as well as the dermal uptake of the resulting cleavage products.

Abstract
Background The presence of anthraquinone (Disperse blue 64) and azodyes (Acid yellow 17) in a waterbody are considered among the most dangerous pollutants. Methods In this study, two different isolated microbes, bacterium and fungus, were individually and as a co-culture applied for the degradation of Disperse Blue 64 (DB 64) and Acid Yellow 17 (AY 17) dyes. The isolates were genetically identified based upon 16S (for bacteria) and ITS/5.8S (for fungus) rRNA genes sequences as Pseudomoans aeruginosa and Aspergillus flavus, respectively. Results The fungal/bacterial consortium exhibited a higher percentage of dyes degradation than the individual strains, even at a high concentration of 300 mg/L. Azoreductase could be identified as the main catabolic enzyme and the consortium could induce azoreductase enzyme in the presence of both dyes. However, the specific substrate which achieved the highest azoreductase specific activity was Methyl red (MR) (3.5 U/mg protein). The tentatively proposed metabolites that were detected by HPLC/MS suggested that the reduction process catalyzed the degradation of dyes. The metabolites produced by the action consortium on two dyes were safe on Vicia faba and Triticum vulgaris germination and health of seedlings. Toxicity of the dyes and their degradation products on the plant was different according to the type and chemistry of these compounds as well as the type of irrigated seeds. Conclusion We submit that the effective microbial degradation of DB64 and AY17 dyes will lead to safer metabolic products.

Novel bacterial biofilm consortia that degrade and detoxify the carcinogenic diazo dye Congo red. Arch Microbiol 2020; 203:643-654.

Abstract
Free-living planktonic single bacterial strain can decolorize Congo red (CR) but often produces the carcinogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic aromatic amines. Planktonic single and bacterial consortia are more susceptible to toxic pollutants than their biofilm counterparts. In the present study, four biofilm consortia (C1 = Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301, Acinetobacter lwoffii ENSG302, Klebsiella pneumoniae ENSG303 and Pseudomonas fluorescens ENSG304, C2 = Escherichia coli ENSD101, Enterobacter asburiae ENSD102 and E. ludwigii ENSH201, C3 = E. asburiae ENSD102, Vitreoscilla sp. ENSG301 and Bacillus thuringiensis ENSW401, and C4 = E. coli ENSD101, E. ludwigii ENSH201 and B. thuringiensis ENSW401) were prepared and assessed for bioremediation of CR. All these biofilm consortia remarkably decolorized (96.9 to 99.5%) the CR (100 mg/L) in static condition within 72 h incubation at 28 °C. These consortia also synthesized significantly more intracellular azoreductase and laccase enzyme than extracellular of these enzymes. UV-Vis spectral analysis revealed that the major peak at 478 nm wavelength of CR was completely disappeared. FTIR analysis showed several major peaks along with azo bonds are completely or partly disappeared, deformed or widened. Chemical oxygen demand was reduced by 86.4, 85.5, 87.0 and 86.2% by C1, C2, C3 and C4, respectively. Accordingly, biodegraded metabolites of CR by different biofilm consortia did not inhibit the germination of wheat seeds and bacterial growth. Thus, these biofilm consortia can be applied in bioremediation of wastewater containing CR for safe disposal into the environment. To our knowledge, this is the first report on degradation and detoxification of aqueous solution containing CR by bacterial biofilm consortia.

Abstract
In Pakistan, 55% of textile exports are contributed by textile-units of Faisalabad. The effluents of these textile units, being discharged without any treatment, contain the contamination of a huge amount of synthetic azo dyes. The objective of the current research was to evaluate the contribution of an azoreductase-encoding gene (azrS) from a pre-characterized azo dye decolorizing bacterial strain Bacillus sp. MR-1/2 in a high copy number host system (pUC19-T7-Top-T) of Escherichia coli strain DH5α followed by in-silico prediction of azoreductase enzyme (AzrS) function. The recombinant cells that contained azrS had a significantly higher rate of color removal in congo red and reactive black-5 dyes when compared to wild-type MR-1/2 and E. coli DH5α after 72 h of incubation. Moreover, we were able to show that the recombinant strain significantly reduced the values of all tested parameters (pH, EC, turbidity, TSS, and COD) in actual wastewater. In support of our results, it was also predicted through bioinformatics analysis that the deduced azoreductase protein of strain MR-1/2 is linked with the dye decolorization ability of the strain through NAD(P)H-ubiquinone: oxidoreductase activity. Furthermore, we also found that the deduced protein resembled closely related proteins of protein databank in many features, yet some unique features were predicted in the enzyme activity of strain MR-1/2. It was concluded that the recombinant strain could be examined in pilot-scale experiments for textile wastewater treatment.

Decoding social behaviors in a glycerol dependent bacterial consortium during Reactive Blue 28 degradation. Braz J Microbiol 2020; 51:1837-1851.

Abstract
Biodegradation of reactive azo dyes has been an arduous problem for decades. Several efficient biosystems have been proposed for dye degradation, but most of them are dependent on the availability of costly co-substrates such as peptone, yeast extract, and/or glucose. The present study describes the azo dye degradation by a bacterial consortium using glycerol as a sole co-substrate. The consortium was developed from a mixed bacterial culture obtained upon enrichment of soil sediment for Reactive Blue 28 (RB28) decolorization in the presence of glycerol (0.1%; v/v). The consortium with three bacterial species, i.e., Stenotrophomonas acidaminiphila APG1, Cellulomonas sp. APG4, and Pseudomonas stutzeri APG2, designated as "SCP," decolorized 92% of 100 ppm dye in 96 h. The intricacies of the interactions existing within the members of the consortium were resolved by a simple and unique analysis called "BSocial." Among all the members, Cellulomonas sp. APG4 exerted a net-positive impact for decolorization (%) on the consortium. The net fitness of the community increased when all the three species were present, and thus, all of them were selected for further analysis. Moreover, APG4 seemed to be central in the reductive decolorization as it possessed the highest reductase activity. The dye degradation by the consortium was demonstrated by UV-Visible spectroscopy, HPTLC, and FTIR spectroscopy of control and decolorized cell-free supernatant. The LC-ESI-MS analysis of metabolites extracted from decolorized cell-free medium led to the identification of degradation products, thus leading us to propose the plausible pathway for degradation of RB28 by bacterial consortium.

Abstract
In the present study, we report the draft genome of soil isolate DP-K7 that has the potential to degrade methyl red. The 16S rRNA gene sequencing and whole-genome analysis exposed that the bacterial strain DP-K7 belongs to the species Kocuria indica. The genome annotation of the strain DP-K7 through the bioinformatics tool “Prokka” showed that the genome contains 3,010,594 bp with 69.01% GC content. The genome comprises 57 contigs including 2 rRNA genes, 47 tRNA genes, and 2754 CDS. The plate and broth assay showed that the strain DP-K7 has the potential to utilize methyl red as the sole carbon source for growth. Indeed, the RP-HPLC analysis proved that the strain DP-K7 is capable of degrading methyl red. The genome BLAST against a characterized azoreductase (AzoB—Xenophilus azovorans KF46F) revealed the presence of two azoreductase-like genes (azoKi-1 and azoKi-2). The phylogenetic analysis of the primary amino acid sequence of characterized azoreductases suggested that AzoKi-1 and AzoKi-2 belong to members of the clade IV azoreductase, which are flavin-independent. The multiple sequence alignment of AzoKi-1 and AzoKi-2 with flavin-independent azoreductases showed the presence of NAD(P)H binding like motif (GxxGxxG). In addition, other genes coding for dye degrading enzymes (SodC, SodA, KatA, KatE, and DyP2) were also found in the genome supporting that the strain K. indica DP-K7 is a potential azo dye degrader.

Abstract
The azoreductase AzoA from the alkali-tolerant Bacillus wakoensis A01 has been studied to reveal its structural and mechanistic details. For this, a recombinant expression system was developed which yields impressive amounts of fully active enzyme. The purified holo enzyme is remarkably solvent-tolerant and thermostable with an apparent melting temperature of 71 °C. The dimeric enzyme contains FMN as a prosthetic group and is strictly NADH dependent. While AzoA shows a negligible ability to use molecular oxygen as an electron acceptor, it is efficient in reducing various azo dyes and quinones. The kinetic and catalytic mechanism has been studied in detail using steady state kinetic analyses and stopped-flow studies. The data show that AzoA performs quinone and azo dye reductions via a two-electron transfer. Moreover, quinones were shown to be much better substrates (kcat values of 100-400 s-1 for several naphtoquinones) when compared with azo dyes. This suggests that the physiological role of AzoA and sequence-related microbial reductases is linked to quinone reductions and that they can better be annotated as quinone reductases. The structure of AzoA has been determined in complex with FMN at 1.8 Å resolution. AzoA displays unique features in the active site providing clues for explaining its catalytic and thermostability features. An uncommon loop, when compared with sequence-related reductases, forms an active site lid with Trp60 acting as an anchor. Several Trp60 mutants have been analyzed disclosing an important role of this residue in the stability of AzoA, while they retained activity. Structural details are discussed in relation to other azo and quinone reductases. This study provides new insights into the molecular functioning of AzoA and sequence-related reductases.

Abstract
Up to 84 000 tons of dye can be lost in water, and 90 million tons of water are attributed annually to dye production and their application, mainly in the textile and leather industry, making the dyestuff industry responsible for up to 20% of the industrial water pollution. The majority of dyes industrially used today are aromatic compounds with complex, reinforced structures, with anthraquinone dyes being the second largest produced in terms of volume. Despite the progress on decolorization and degradation of azo dyes, very little attention has been given to anthraquinone dyes. Anthraquinone dyes pose a serious environmental problem as their reinforced structure makes them difficult to degrade naturally. Existing methods of decolorization might be effective but are neither efficient nor practical due to extended time, space, and cost requirements. Attention should be given to the emerging routes for dye decolorization via the enzymatic action of oxidoreductases, which have already a strong presence in various other bioremediation applications. This review will discusses the presence of anthraquinone dyes in the effluents and ways for their remediation from dyehouse effluents, focusing on enzymatic processes.

Abstract
Azo dyes are widely used in the textile industry despite being poorly biodegradable and highly toxic. Hence, azo dyes need to be removed from effluent prior to environmental discharge. Microbial communities are efficient for the degradation and mineralization of azo dyes. However, little is known about the functional microbial communities responsible for the degradation process. In this study, a novel indigenous bacteria consortium was developed for characterizing the functional microbial communities involved in the degradation of a sulfonated azo dye, Direct Blue 2B (DB2) in a simple batch reactor. The optimal temperature, pH, and salinity for the decolorization process were 38.70 °C, pH 7.57, and 20.10 g L-1 NaCl, respectively. The effect of the operating conditions on microbial community structure were determined using high-throughput Illumina HiSeq sequencing. Gammaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria, and Bacilli were dominant under most of the operating conditions. At pH above 8 and NaCl concentration above 30 g L-1, Firmicutes relative abundance did not significantly change suggesting tolerance towards alkaline and hypersaline environments. Tritium aestivum and Glycine max seed germination following exposure to YHK treated DB2 solution was above 80% compared to 50% in untreated DB2 solution. The YHK consortium decolorized dyes structurally different from DB2 such as trimethyl phenyl and direct dyes. The results of this study offer valuable data on improving optimization of dye biodegradation processes and the capability of YHK in in situ bioremediation.

Abstract
Carmoisine is an azo dye widely used in many industries, and therefore frequently occurs in the effluent of many factories. To our knowledge, biological degradation of carmoisine has received little attention. The present study investigates the capability of Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 9763 for degradation of carmoisine. Spectrophotometry data indicates that carmoisine (50 mg/l) was eliminated from the aqueous medium after approximately 7 h of incubation with Saccharomyces under anaerobic shaking conditions. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) revealed the removal of carmoisine as well as the appearance of aromatic amines in samples collected from the decolourized medium by S. cerevisiae and this was subsequently confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was carried out on fractions from consecutive column chromatography and two-dimensional (2D) chromatography. LC/MS indicated degradation of carmoisine into its constituent aromatic amines. In addition, investigating the effect of environmental conditions on the decolourization process indicated that yeast extract could positively affect decolourization rates; shaking significantly accelerated decolourization and shortened the time required for complete biodecolourization from ≃ 8 days to ≃ 7 h; and Saccharomyces was able to consume sucrose as a carbon source and remove the carmoisine despite the presence of sunset yellow, which remained unaffected.

Abstract
Azoreductases reductively cleave azo linkages by using NAD(P)H as an electron donor. The enzymes are widely found in bacteria and act on numerous azo dyes, which allow various unique applications. This review describes primary amino acid sequences, structures, substrates, physiological roles, and biotechnological applications of bacterial azoreductases to discuss their remarkable diversification. According to primary sequences, azoreductases were classified phylogenetically into four main clades. Most members of clades I-III are flavoproteins, whereas clade IV members include flavin-free azoreductases. Clades I and II prefer NADPH and NADH, respectively, as electron donors, whereas other members generally use both. Several enzymes formed no clades; moreover, some bacteria produce azoreductases with longer primary structures than those hitherto identified, which implies further diversification of bacterial azoreductases. The crystal structures commonly reveal the Rossmann folds; however, ternary structures are moderately varied with different quaternary conformation. Although physiological roles are obscure, several azoreductases have been shown to act on metabolites such as flavins, quinones, and metal ions more efficiently than on azo dyes. Considering that many homologs exclusively act on these metabolites, it is possible that azoreductases are actually side activities of versatile reductases that act on various substrates with different specificities. In parallel, this idea raises the possibility that homologous enzymes, even if these are already defined as other types of reductases, widely harbor azoreductase activities. Although azoreductases for which their genes have been identified are not abundant, it may be simple to identify azoreductases of biotechnological importance that have novel substrate specificities.

Abstract
Forested wetlands are interfaces between terrestrial and aquatic environments. These ecosystems play an important role in the hydrology, chemistry and biodiversity maintenance. Despite their high microbial diversity, there has been a lack of attention to the potential of their yeast communities. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential of yeasts isolated from a Mediterranean forested wetlands in decolorizing azo dyes. Azo dyes are synthetic, and highly recalcitrant to degradation. Ninety-two out of 560 isolates were randomly chosen to assess their ability to decolorize five azo dyes. Hierarchical clustering based on medium color changes during incubations was used to evaluate the isolates’ decolorization performance. All of the isolates that best degraded the 5 dyes tested were identified as Basidiomycota (Filobasidiales, Tremellales and Sporidiobolales). This work identifies new azo dye-degrading yeast species, and supports the hypothesis that forested wetlands are a niche for yeasts with bioremediation potential - namely azo dyes removal.

Abstract
This work reports on the biodegradation of textile wastewater by three alternative microbial treatments. A bacterial consortium, isolated from a dyeing factory, showed significant efficacy in decolourizing wastewater (77.6 ± 3.0%); the decolourization rate was 5.80 ± 0.31 mg of azo dye·L-1·h-1, without the addition of an ancillary carbon source (W). The degradation was 52% (measured as COD removal) and the products of the treatment showed low biodegradability (COD/BOD5 = 4.2). When glucose was added to the wastewater, (W + G): the decolourization efficiency increased to 87.24 ± 2.5% and the decolourization rate significantly improved (25.67 ± 3.62 mg·L-1·h-1), although the COD removal efficiency was only 44%. Finally, the addition of starch (W + S) showed both a similar decolourization rate and efficiency to the W treatment, but a higher COD removal efficiency (72%). In addition, the biodegradability of the treated wastewater was considerably improved (COD/BOD5 = 1.2) when starch was present. The toxicity of the degradation products was tested on Lactuca sativa seeds. In all treatments, toxicity was reduced with respect to the untreated wastewater. The W + S treatment gave the best performance.

Abstract
In the present study, three bio-electrochemical treatment systems (BET) were designed with variations in cathode electrode placement [air exposed (BET1), partially submerged (BET2) and fully submerged (BET3)] to evaluate azo-dye based wastewater treatment at three dye loading concentrations (50, 250 and 500 mg L-1). Highest dye decolorization (94.5 ± 0.4%) and COD removal (62.2 ± 0.8%) efficiencies were observed in BET3 (fully submerged electrodes) followed by BET1 and BET2, while bioelectrogenic activity was highest in BET1 followed by BET2 and BET3. It was observed that competition among electron acceptors (electrode, dye molecules and intermediates) critically regulated the fate of bio-electrogenesis to be higher in BET1 and dye removal higher in BET3. Maximum half-cell potentials in BET3 depict higher electron acceptance by electrodes utilized for dye degradation. Study infers that spatial positioning of electrodes in BET3 is more suitable towards dye remediation, which can be considered for scaling-up/designing a treatment plant for large-scale industrial applications.

Abstract
The industrial dye-contaminated wastewater has been considered as the most complex and hazardous in terms of nature and composition of toxicants that can cause severe biotic risk. Reactive azo, anthroquinone and triphenylmethane dyes are mostly used in dyeing industries; thus, the unfixed hydrolysed molecules of these dyes are commonly found in wastewater. In this regard, bacterial species have been proved to be highly effective to treat wastewater containing reactive dyes and heavy metals. The bio-decolourisation of dye occurs either by adsorption or through degradation in bacterial metabolic pathways under optimised environmental conditions. The bacterial dye decolourisation rates vary with the type of bacteria, reactivity of dye and operational parameters such as temperature, pH, co-substrate, electron donor and dissolved oxygen concentration. The present paper reviews the efficiency of bacterial species (individual and consortia) to decolourise wastewater containing reactive azo, anthroquinone and triphenylmethane dyes either individually or mixed or with metal ions. It has been observed that bacteria Pseudomonas spp. are comparatively more effective to treat reactive dyes and metal-contaminated wastewater. In recent studies, either immobilised cell or isolated enzymes are being used to decolourise dye at a large scale of operations. However, it is required to investigate more potent bacterial species or consortia that could be used to treat wastewater containing mixed reactive dyes and heavy metals like chromium ions.

Abstract
Nanostructured zero-valent iron (NSZVI) particles were synthesized by the method of ferric ion reduction with sodium borohydride with subsequent drying and passivation at room temperature in technical grade nitrogen. The obtained sample was characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering studies. The prepared NSZVI particles represent 100–200[Formula: see text]nm aggregates, which consist of 20–30[Formula: see text]nm iron nanoparticles in zero-valent oxidation state covered by thin oxide shell. The reactivity of the NSZVI sample, as the removal efficiency of refractory azo dyes, was investigated in this study. Two azo dye compounds, namely, orange G and methyl orange, are commonly detected in waste water of textile production. Experimental variables such as NSZVI dosage, initial dye concentration and solution pH were investigated. The kinetic rates of degradation of both dyes by NSZVI increased with the decrease of solution pH from 10 to 3 and with the increase of NSZVI dosage, but decreased with the increase of initial dye concentration. The removal efficiencies achieved for both orange G and methyl orange were higher than 90% after 80[Formula: see text]min of treatment.

Abstract
Monoazo and diazo dyes [New coccine (NC), Acid orange 7 (AO7), Reactive red 120 (RR120) and Reactive green 19 (RG19)] were employed as electron acceptors in the abiotic cathode of microbial fuel cell. The electrons and protons generated from microbial organic oxidation at the anode which were utilized for electrochemical azo dye reduction at the cathodic chamber was successfully demonstrated. When NC was employed as the electron acceptor, the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and dye decolourisation efficiencies obtained at the anodic and cathodic chamber were 73±3% and 95.1±1.1%, respectively. This study demonstrated that the decolourisation rates of monoazo dyes were ∼50% higher than diazo dyes. The maximum power density in relation to NC decolourisation was 20.64mW/m2, corresponding to current density of 120.24mA/m2. The decolourisation rate and power output of different azo dyes were in the order of NC>AO7>RR120>RG19. The findings revealed that the structure of dye influenced the decolourisation and power performance of MFC. Azo dye with electron-withdrawing group at para substituent to azo bond would draw electrons from azo bond; hence the azo dye became more electrophilic and more favourable for dye reduction.

Abstract
Water pollution generated by industrial effluents discharge is a threat to the maintenance of aquatic ecosystems and human development. The Jundiai River estuarine, located in Northeast Brazil, receives an industrial pretreated effluent load from the city of Macaíba/RN/Brazil. The present study aimed to assess the water quality of this water reservoir through i) physicochemical characterization, ii) quantification of metal concentration and iii) by an ecotoxicological assessment carried out using Mysidopsis juniae and Pomacea lineata. The study was performed throughout the period comprising May to September 2014. Physicochemical variables such as chloride, total solids and electrical conductivity presented values in the waste discharge point, significantly different with those located out of the waste releasing point. Apart from that, metal concentration showed variable behavior throughout the monitored period. Levels of Al, Fe, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb and Ag were over the considered guidelines. Both natural and anthropogenic sources seem to be involved in the resulting environmental scenario. A reduction in the fecundity rate (using Mysidopsis juniae) along with an increase in mortality rate (in both species) was observed ratifying the presence of toxic substances in this water reservoir. Moreover, a correlation analysis stated an association of the aforementioned toxicological effects with the delivery of industrial waste products. The ecotoxicological assessment performed highlighted the presence of toxic substance/s in water from the Jundiai River. Especially as a consequence of industrial activity, a fact that might threaten the bioma and, therefore, the human health of the population settled in the studied region.

Abstract
In this paper, the removal of three common dyes (orange I, orange II, and methylorange) and of the anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine from aqueous solutions by means of enzymatic and photocatalytic treatment was studied. Soybean peroxidase (SBP) was used as biocatalyst, both free in solution and immobilized on silica monoliths, and titanium dioxide as photocatalyst. The combination of the two catalysts led to a faster (about two to four times) removal of all the orange dyes compared to the single systems. All the dyes were completely removed within 2 h, also in the presence of immobilized SBP. As for carbamazepine, photocatalytic treatment prevails on the enzymatic degradation, but the synergistic effect of two catalysts led to a more efficient degradation; carbamazepine's complete disappearance was achieved within 60 min with combined system, while up to 2 h is required with TiO2 only.

Abstract
The present study evaluated the cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic actions of different concentrations (50 and 200 μg/L) of BDCP (Black Dye Commercial Product) used by textile industries, before and after bacterial biodegradation, by the conventional staining cytogenetic technique and NOR-banding in Allium cepa cells. Differences in the chromosomal and nuclear aberrations and alterations in the number of nucleoli were observed in cells exposed to BDCP with and without the microbial treatment. The significant frequencies of chromosome and nuclear aberrations noted in the tests with bacterially biodegraded BDCP indicate that the metabolites generated by degradation are more genotoxic than the chemical itself. Losses of genetic material characterize a type of alteration that was mainly associated with the action of the original BDCP, whereas chromosome stickiness, nuclear buds and binucleated cells were the aberrations that were preferentially induced by BDCP metabolites after biodegradation. The significant frequencies of cell death observed in the tests with biodegraded BDCP also show the cytotoxic effects of the BDCP metabolites. The reduction in the total frequency of altered cells after the recovery treatments showed that the test organism A. cepa has the ability to recover from damage induced by BDCP and its metabolites after the exposure conditions are normalized.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The expansion in knowledge of the microbial community structure can play a vital role in the electrochemical features and operation of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). In this study, bacterial community composition in a dual chamber MFC fed with brewery waste was investigated for simultaneous electricity generation and azo dye degradation. A stable voltage was generated with a maximum power density of 305 and 269 mW m(-2) for brewery waste alone (2000 mg L(-1)) and after the azo dye (200 mg L(-1)) addition, respectively. Azo dye degradation was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) as peak corresponding to -N=N- (azo) bond disappeared in the dye metabolites. Microbial communities attached to the anode were analyzed by high-throughput 454 pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. Microbial community composition analysis revealed that Proteobacteria (67.3 %), Betaproteobacteria (30.8 %), and Desulfovibrio (18.3 %) were the most dominant communities at phylum, class, and genus level, respectively. Among the classified genera, Desulfovibrio most likely plays a major role in electron transfer to the anode since its outer membrane contains c-type cytochromes. At the genus level, 62.3 % of all sequences belonged to the unclassified category indicating a high level of diversity of microbial groups in MFCs fed with brewery waste and azo dye. HIGHLIGHTS • Azo dye degradation and stable bioelectricity generation was achieved in the MFC. • Anodic biofilm was analyzed by high-throughput pyrosequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. • Desulfovibrio (18.3 %) was the dominant genus in the classified genera. • Of the genus, 62.3 % were unclassified, thereby indicating highly diverse microbes. Graphical Abstract A schematic diagram of a dual chamber microbial fuel cell for azo dye degradation and current generation (with microbial communities at anode electrode).

Abstract
We previously demonstrated the effects of azo dyes and their reduction metabolites on bacterial cell growth and cell viability. In this report, the effects of Orange II and Sudan III on gene expression profiling in Staphylococcus aureus ATCC BAA 1556 were analyzed using microarray and quantitative RT-PCR technology. Upon exposure to 6 μg/ml Orange II for 18 h, 21 genes were found to be differently expressed. Among them, 8 and 13 genes were up- and down-regulated, respectively. Most proteins encoded by these differentially expressed genes involve stress response caused by drug metabolism, oxidation, and alkaline shock indicating that S. aureus could adapt to Orange II exposure through a balance between up and down regulated gene expression. Whereas, after exposure to 6 μg/ml Sudan III for 18 h, 57 genes were differentially expressed. In which, 51 genes were up-regulated and 6 were down-regulated. Most proteins encoded by these differentially expressed genes involve in cell wall/membrane biogenesis and biosynthesis, nutrient uptake, transport and metabolite, and stress response, suggesting that Sudan III damages the bacterial cell wall or/and membrane due to binding of the dye. Further analysis indicated that all differentially expressed genes encoded membrane proteins were up-regulated and most of them serve as transporters. The result suggested that these genes might contribute to survival, persistence and growth in the presence of Sudan III. Only one gene msrA, which plays an important role in oxidative stress resistance, was found to be down-regulated after exposure to both Orange II and Sudan III. The present results suggested that both these two azo dyes can cause stress in S. aureus and the response of the bacterium to the stress is mainly related to characteristics of the azo dyes.
