[PMID: 39197768 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.175822] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/21/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/25/2024] [Indexed: 09/01/2024]
Abstract
Aniline is one of the most toxic and widespread organic pollutants. Although biological treatment is cost-effective and generates minimal secondary pollution, microbial communities are significantly affected by high aniline concentrations, which result in low degradation efficiency. However, a comprehensive understanding of the microbial community response to aniline stress is lacking. Here, we performed a cyclic experiment with aniline concentrations (200, 600, 1200, 600, and 200 mg/L) to investigate the ability of microbial communities to recover their performance after exposure to high aniline concentrations. At aniline concentrations up to 600 mg/L, the bioreactor exhibited high aniline removal efficiency (almost 100 %). Comamonas, Zoogloea, and Delftia played crucial roles in removing aniline and microbial beta diversity changed. Additionally, alpha diversity and network complexity decreased with increasing aniline concentration, but these metrics recovered to their original levels when the aniline concentration was returned to 200 mg/L. Homogeneous and heterogeneous selection dominated microbial community assembly. Therefore, according to the observed variations in community structure and the recovery of keystones after aniline stress, microbial community redundancy and resilience are pivotal for ensuring system stability. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the redundancy and resilience of microbial communities under aniline stress and establishes a scientific basis for managing and evaluating wastewater treatment plants.

Abstract
Most adsorbents are currently restricted by their single function in pollutant removal from complex wastewater. Herein, we constructed a versatile chitosan-based adsorbent (MC-DA) by grafting amphoteric copolymers with high pH-responsiveness property, aiming at the removal of multiple ionic contaminants. Specifically, the surface charge and hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of MC-DA can be finely tuned under different pH conditions. As a result, the effective adsorption of cationic methylene blue (MB) and anionic Acid Orange 7 (AO7) with capacities of 627.4 mg/g and 1146.8 mg/g were achieved respectively, superior to most reported materials. Regarding the characterization results, the adsorption mechanisms for MB adsorption were electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, while the electrostatic attraction was the main driving force for AO7 adsorption. Apart from the versatile adsorption performance, high acid resistance (pH ≥ 2.0), good reusability and rapid separation property under an external magnetic field suggested MC-DA's promising environmental benefits and practical application potential in water remediation.

Abstract
The azobenzene moiety is an intriguing structure that deforms under UV and visible light, indicating a high potential for biomedical applications. However, its reaction to UV radiation is problematic because of its high energy and low tissue penetration. Unlike previous research on azobenzene structures in photoresponsive materials, this study presents a novel method for imparting photostimulation-responsive properties to liposomes by incorporating the azobenzene moiety and extending the light wavelength with up-conversion nanoparticles. First, the azobenzene structure was incorporated into a phospholipid molecule to create Azo-PSG, which could spontaneously form vesicle assemblies in aqueous solutions and isomerizes within 1 h of light exposure. Furthermore, orthogonal up-conversion nanoparticles with a core-shell structure were created by sequentially growing lanthanide rare earths in the shell layer, which efficiently converts near-infrared light into ultraviolet (400 nm) and blue-green (540 nm) light. Combining these core-shell structured up-conversion nanomaterials with Azo-PSG molecules resulted in the creation of a near-infrared light-responsive smart nanoliposome system. Under near-infrared light irradiation, UCNPs emit UV and blue-green light, causing conformational changes in Azo-PSG molecules that allow drug release within 6 h. The reversible structural shift of Azo-PSG in response to light stimulation holds enormous promise for improving drug release techniques. This novel technique also expands the usage of UV-responsive compounds beyond their constraints of low penetration and high biotoxicity, allowing for rapid medication release under NIR light.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 954:176426. [PMID: 39326754 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.176426] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Revised: 09/16/2024] [Accepted: 09/18/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024]
Abstract
The synthetic azo dyes are widely used in the textile industries for their excellent dyeing properties. They may be classified into many classes based on their structure and application, including direct, reactive, dispersive, acidic, basic, and others. The continuous discharge of wastewater from a large number of textile industries without prior treatment poses detrimental effects on the environment and human health. Azo dyes and their degradation products are extremely poisonous for their carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic nature. Moreover, exposure to synthetic azo dyes can cause genetic changes, skin inflammation, hypersensitivity responses, and skin irritations in persons, which may ultimately result in other profound issues including the deterioration of water quality. This review discusses these dyes in details along with their detrimental effects on aquatic and terrestrial flora and fauna including human beings. Azo dyes degrade the water bodies by increasing biochemical and chemical oxygen demand. Therefore, dye-containing wastewater should be effectively treated using eco-friendly and cost-effective technologies to avoid negative impact on the environment. This article extensively reviews on physical, chemical and biological treatment with their benefits and challenges. Biological-based treatment with higher hydraulic retention time (HRT) is economical, consumes less energy, produces less sludge and environmentally friendly. Whereas the physical and chemical methods with less hydraulic retention time is costly, produces large sludge, requires high dissolved oxygen and ecologically inefficient. Since, biological treatment is more advantageous over physical and chemical methods, researchers are concentrating on bioremediation for eliminating harmful azo dye pollutants from nature. This article provides a thorough analysis of the state-of-the-art biological treatment technologies with their developments and effectiveness in the removal of azo dyes. The mechanism by which genes encoding azoreductase enzymes (azoG, and azoK) enable the natural degradation of azo dyes by bacteria and convert them into less harmful compounds is also extensively examined. Therefore, this review also focuses on the use of genetically modified microorganisms and nano-technological approaches for bioremediation of azo dyes.

Abstract
The importance of environmental issues and the existence of humans have led to the recognition of environmental concerns as the main risk to modern life. Notably, one major concern for protecting and managing the environment and human health is the presence of dyes in wastewater. Therefore, before discharging wastewater into mainstream water, it is crucial to remove dyes. Among all lignocellulosic materials, lignin is a highly fragrant biopolymer. Its abundant availability, complex structure, and numerous functional moieties, including hydroxyl, carboxyl, and phenolic, are used in different chemicals and applications. Based on this, lignin is a very useful green material for adsorption, specifically in removing both heavy metals and organic pollutants from wastewater. This article describes the use of lignin-based adsorbents as a recent breakthrough in the removal of dye from aqueous solutions. On the other hand, the review intends to encourage readers to study both established and novel avenues in lignin-based dye removal materials.

Abstract
Dyes are the most ubiquitous organic pollutants in industrial effluents. They are highly toxic to both plants and animals; thus, their removal is paramount to the sustainability of ecosystem. However, they have shown resistance to photolysis and various biological, physical, and chemical wastewater remediation processes. Membrane removal technology has been vital for the filtration/separation of the dyes. In comparison to polymeric membranes, inorganic and mixed matrix (MM) membranes have shown potentials to the removal of dyes. The inorganic and MM membranes are particularly effective due to their high porosity, enhanced stability, improved permeability, higher enhanced selectivity and good stability and resistance to harsh chemical and thermal conditions. They have shown prospects in filtration/separation, adsorption, and catalytic degradation of the dyes. This review highlighted the advantages of the inorganic and MM membranes for the various removal techniques for the treatments of the dyes. Methods for the membranes production have been reviewed. Their application for the filtration/separation and adsorption have been critically analyzed. Their application as support for advanced oxidation processes such as persulfate, photo-Fenton and photocatalytic degradations have been highlighted. The mechanisms underscoring the efficiency of the processes have been cited. Lastly, comments were given on the prospects and challenges of both inorganic and MM membranes towards removal of the dyes from industrial effluents.

Abstract
Azo dye-laden textile wastewater must be treated before release due to various health and environmental concerns. Bioremediation of textile wastewater, however, is a challenge owing to its alkaline and saline nature as mesophilic microbes, in general, are either not able to thrive or show less efficiency under such hostile environment. Thus, pre-treatment for neutralization or salinity removal becomes a prerequisite before applying microbes for treatment, causing extra economical and technical burden. Extremophilic bacteria can be the promising bioremediating tool because of their inherent ability to survive and show toxicants removal capability under such extreme conditions without need of pre-treatment. Among extremophiles, halophilic and alkaliphilic bacteria which are naturally adapted to high salt and pH are of special interest for the decolorization of saline-alkaline-rich textile wastewater. The current review article is an attempt to provide an overview of the bioremediation of azo dyes and azo dye-laden textile wastewater using these two classes of extremophilic bacteria. The harmful effects of azo dyes on human health and environment have been discussed herein. Halo-alkaliphilic bacteria circumvent the extreme conditions by various adaptations, e.g., production of certain enzymes, adjustment at the protein level, pH homeostasis, and other structural adaptations that have been highlighted in this review. The unique properties of alkaliphiles and halophiles, to not only sustain but also harboring high dye removal competence at high pH and salt concentration, make them a good candidate for designing future bioremediation strategies for the management of alkaline, salt, and azo dye-laden industrial wastewaters.

Abstract
We applied a holistic, sustainable, and green approach to develop an effective multipurpose adsorbent from whole pine needles (PNs), a forest waste lignocellulosic biomass. The PNs were oxidized and modified with phenylhydrazine-4-sulphonic acid (ɸHSO3H) to OPN-ɸHSO3H. The latter was characterized and tested as an adsorbent for cationic dyes, malachite green (MG), methylene blue (MB), crystal violet (CV), and metal ions (Hg2⁺ and Pb2⁺). The adsorption followed different kinetic models: Elovich for MG and MB, pseudo-second-order for CV, and pseudo-first-order for Hg2⁺ and Pb2⁺. Langmuir isotherm indicated maximum adsorption capacities of 303.4 ± 8.91 mgg-1 (MG), 331.4 ± 17.50 mgg-1 (MB), 376.6 ± 22.47 mgg-1 (CV), 210.8 ± 28.86 mgg-1 (Hg2⁺), and 172.9 ± 20.93 mgg-1 (Pb2⁺) within 30 min. Maximum removal efficiencies were 99.0% (MG), 98.0% (MB), 96.04% (CV), 95.5% (Hg2⁺), and 89.8% (Pb2⁺). The adsorbent demonstrated significant regeneration and reusability over ten cycles, proving highly efficient for both cationic dyes and metal ions, with wide potential for practical applications where more than one adsorbate is present.

Abstract
Dye-decolorizing peroxidases (DyPs) belong to a novel superfamily of heme peroxidases that can oxidize recalcitrant compounds. In the current study, the GlDyP2 gene from Ganoderma lucidum was heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli, and the enzymatic properties of the recombinant GlDyP2 protein were investigated. The GlDyP2 protein could oxidize not only the typical peroxidase substrate ABTS but also two lignin substrates, namely guaiacol and 2,6-dimethoxy phenol (DMP). For the ABTS substrate, the optimum pH and temperature of GlDyP2 were 4.0 and 35 °C, respectively. The pH stability and thermal stability of GlDyP2 were also measured; the results showed that GlDyP2 could function normally in the acidic environment, with a T50 value of 51 °C. Moreover, compared to untreated controls, the activity of GlDyP2 was inhibited by 1.60 mM of Mg2+, Ni2+, Mn2+, and ethanol; 0.16 mM of Cu2+, Zn2+, methanol, isopropyl alcohol, and Na2EDTA·2H2O; and 0.016 mM of Fe2+ and SDS. The kinetic constants of recombinant GlDyP2 for oxidizing ABTS, Reactive Blue 19, guaiacol, and DMP were determined; the results showed that the recombination GlDyP2 exhibited the strongest affinity and the most remarkable catalytic efficiency towards guaiacol in the selected substrates. GlDyP2 also exhibited decolorization and detoxification capabilities towards several dyes, including Reactive Blue 19, Reactive Brilliant Blue X-BR, Reactive Black 5, Methyl Orange, Trypan Blue, and Malachite Green. In conclusion, GlDyP2 has good application potential for treating dye wastewater.

ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY 2024; 45:4131-4145. [PMID: 37545344 DOI: 10.1080/09593330.2023.2241619] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 07/15/2023] [Indexed: 08/08/2023]
Abstract
The current study is to develop surface-modified peanut shell granules by incorporating activated carbon to enhance the removal efficiency of Orange G dye (OGD) through adsorption. Activated carbon was prepared from Arachis hypogaea shell (Peanut shell) using a chemical activation method. Ultrasonic Activated Peanut Shell Powder (UAPSP) was characterised using FT-IR and SEM analysis to identify functional groups and assess surface morphology. To determine the optimal conditions, a batch adsorption study was conducted. The results indicated a maximum removal efficiency of 99.5% and a maximum adsorption capacity of 298.36 mg/g under the following parameters: pH 5, temperature 303 K, interaction period of 60 min, a dosage of 0.5 g/L for an OGD concentration of 10 mg/L. The adsorption mechanism in the current system was evaluated using the Langmuir, Freundlich, Sips, Temkin, and D-R isotherms models. Among these, the Langmuir isotherm exhibited the best fit with an R2 value of 0.997. UAPSP demonstrated a monolayer adsorption capacity of 1.9 mg/g for OGD removal. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model provided the most effective fit with an R2 value of 0.998. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process was spontaneous and exothermic, as evidenced by the negative values of ΔG° ( -1.497) and ΔS° (16.4052) at 303 K. Additionally, the mean free energy value (E) in the D-R isotherm increased to 10.58 KJ/mol with a temperature rise from 303 K to 343 K. The characterisation results confirmed that UAPSP is an effective, cost-free, and commercial alternative adsorbent for the removal of hazardous dyes from wastewater.

Abstract
Textile effluent carries a range of dyes that may be recalcitrant and resistant to biodegradation. A unique consortium of the Fimbristylis dichotoma and Saccharomyces cerevisiae is exploited for the biodegradation of an azo dye Rubine GFL and actual textile effluent. This consortium enhances the rate of biodegradation of Rubine GFL and actual textile effluent with an excellent rate of biodegradation of 92% for Rubine GFL and 68% for actual textile effluent when compared to the individual one within 96 h. Speedy decolorization of Rubine GFL and actual textile effluent was observed due to the induction of oxido-reductive enzymes of the FD-SC consortium. Along with the significant reduction in the values of COD, BOD, ADMI, TSS, and TDS with 70, 64, 65, 41, and 52%, respectively, in experimental sets treated with FD-SC consortium. The biodegradation of Rubine GFL was confirmed with UV-Vis spectroscopy at the preliminary level, and then, metabolites formed after degradation were detected and identified by FTIR, HPLC, and GC-MS techniques. Also, decolorization of the dye was observed in the sections of the root cortex of Fimbristylis dichotoma. The toxicity of dye and metabolites formed after degradation was assessed by seed germination and bacterial count assay, where increased germination % and bacterial count from 31×107CFUs to 92 × 107 CFUs reflect the nontoxic nature of metabolites. Furthermore, the nontoxic nature of metabolites was confirmed by fish toxicity on Cirrhinus mrigala showed normal structures of fish gills and liver in the groups treated with FD-SC consortium proving the better tactic for biodegradation of dyes and textile effluent.

Abstract
Dyes are extensively employed in industries, namely, textiles, cosmetics, paper, pharmaceuticals, tanning, etc. The effluent released from these industries contains various kinds of harmful dyes that adversely impact living beings and the environment due to their recalcitrant and toxic nature. In this study, an effort has been made to eliminate the methylene blue (MB) from wastewater using carbon nano-onions (CNOs) produced from waste frying oil (WFO) using an economical and eco-friendly wick pyrolysis method. The impact of process variables, namely, pH, temperature, process time, MB dye concentration, and adsorbent, was examined for optimum dye removal. The dye removal efficiency (RE) of 99.78% was obtained in 20 min under optimum conditions. The pseudo-second-order model demonstrated a better kinetic fitting with the experimental data. The Langmuir model represented the maximum adsorption capacity (q max) of 43.11 ± 2.56 mg g-1. The regeneration studies demonstrated that the CNOs achieved ∼99.6% MB dye removal over three cycles. Brassica nigra seeds irrigated in treated wastewater showed better growth (3.29 cm) than untreated dye wastewater, which confirms the environmental sustainability of the overall process.

Abstract
Organophosphorus compounds (OP) are highly toxic pesticides and nerve agents widely used in agriculture and chemical warfare. The extensive use of these chemicals has severe environmental implications, such as contamination of soil, water bodies, and food chains, thus endangering ecosystems and biodiversity. Plants absorb pesticide residues, which then enter the food chain and accumulate in the body fat of both humans and animals. Numerous human cases of OP poisoning have been linked to both acute and long-term exposure to these toxic OP compounds. These compounds inhibit the action of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (AChE) by phosphorylation, which prevents the breakdown of acetylcholine (ACh) neurotransmitter into choline and acetate. Thus, it becomes vital to cleanse the environment from these chemicals utilizing various physical, chemical, and biological methods. Biological methods encompassing bioremediation using immobilized microbes and enzymes have emerged as environment-friendly and cost-effective approaches for pesticide removal. Cell/enzyme immobilized systems offer higher stability, reusability, and ease of product recovery, making them ideal tools for OP bioremediation. Interestingly, enzymatic bioscavengers (stoichiometric, pseudo-catalytic, and catalytic) play a vital role in detoxifying pesticides from the human body. Catalytic bioscavenging enzymes such as Organophosphate Hydrolase, Organophosphorus acid anhydrolase, and Paraoxonase 1 show high degradation efficiency within the animal body as well as in the environment. Moreover, these enzymes can also be employed to decontaminate pesticides from food, ensuring food safety and thus minimizing human exposure. This review aims to provide insights to potential collaborators in research organizations, government bodies, and industries to bring advancements in the field of bioremediation and bioscavenging technologies for the mitigation of OP-induced health hazards.

Abstract
SiO2-coated nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) has emerged as a fine material for the treatment of dye wastewater due to its large specific surface area, high surface activity, and strong reducibility. However, the magnetic properties based on which SiO2-coated nZVI (SiO2-nZVI) could effectively separate and recover from treated wastewater, and the biotoxicity analysis of degradation products of the dye wastewater treated by SiO2-nZVI remain unclear. In this study, SiO2-nZVI was synthesized using a modified one-step synthesis method. The SiO2-nZVI nanoparticles were characterized using Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Fully automatic specific surface and porosity analyzer, Vibrating sample magnetometer, and Zeta potential analyzer. The removal rate of methyl orange (MO) by SiO2-nZVI composite reached 98.35% when the degradation performance of SiO2-nZVI treating MO was optimized. Since SiO2-nZVI analysed by magnetic hysteresis loops had large saturation magnetization and strong magnetic properties, SiO2-nZVI exhibited excellent ferromagnetic behaviour. The analysis of the degradation products showed that the MO treated by SiO2-nZVI was converted into a series of intermediates, resulting in reducing the toxicity of MO. The potential mechanism of MO degradated by SiO2-nZVI was speculated through degradation process and degradation kinetics analysis. Overall, the SiO2-nZVI composite may be regarded as a promising catalyst for decolorization of dye wastewater.

Abstract
The textile industry, with its extensive use of dyes and chemicals, stands out as a significant source of water pollution. Exposure to certain textile dyes, such as azo dyes and their breakdown products like aromatic amines, has been associated with health concerns like skin sensitization, allergic reactions, and even cancer in humans. Annually, the worldwide production of synthetic dyes approximates 7 × 107 tons, of which the textile industry accounts for over 10,000 tons. Inefficient dyeing procedures result in the discharge of 15-50% of azo dyes, which do not adequately bind to fibers, into wastewater. This review delves into the genotoxic impact of azo dyes, prevalent in the textile industry, on aquatic ecosystems and human health. Examining different families of textile dye which contain azo group in their structure such as Sudan I and Sudan III Sudan IV, Basic Red 51, Basic Violet 14, Disperse Yellow 7, Congo Red, Acid Red 26, and Acid Blue 113 reveals their carcinogenic potential, which may affect both industrial workers and aquatic life. Genotoxic and carcinogenic characteristics, chromosomal abnormalities, induced physiological and neurobehavioral changes, and disruptions to spermatogenesis are evident, underscoring the harmful effects of these dyes. The review calls for comprehensive investigations into the toxic profile of azo dyes, providing essential insights to safeguard the aquatic ecosystem and human well-being. The importance of effective effluent treatment systems is underscored to mitigate adverse impacts on agricultural lands, water resources, and the environment, particularly in regions heavily reliant on wastewater irrigation for food production.

Abstract
Wood fiber as a natural and renewable material has low cost and plenty of functional groups, which owns the ability to adsorb dyes. In order to improve the application performance of wood fiber in dye-pollution wastewater, Eucalyptus wood fiber loaded nanoscale zero-valent iron (EWF-nZVI) was developed to give EWF magnetism and the ability to degrade dyes. EWF-nZVI was characterized via FTIR, XRD, zeta potential, VSM, SEM-EDS and XPS. Results showed that EWF-nZVI owned a strong magnetism of 96.51 emu/g. The dye removal process of EWF-nZVI was more in line with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. In addition, the Langmuir isotherm model fitting results showed that the maximum removal capacities of Congo red and Rhodamine B by EWF-nZVI were 714.29 mg/g and 68.49 mg/g at 328 K, respectively. After five adsorption-desorption cycles, the regeneration efficiencies of Congo red and Rhodamine B were 74 % and 42 % in turn. The dye removal mechanisms of EWF-nZVI included redox degradation (Congo red and Rhodamine B) and electrostatic adsorption (Congo red). In summary, EWF-nZVI is a promising biomass-based material with high dye removal capacities. This work is beneficial to promote the large-scale application of wood fiber in water treatment.

Abstract
Wastewater containing organic dyes has become one of the important challenges in water treatment due to its high salt content and resistance to natural degradation. In this work, a novelty adsorbent, PEI-SMA, was prepared by grafting polyethyleneimine (PEI) onto styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer (SMA) through an amidation reaction. The various factors, such as pH, adsorbent dosage, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature, which may affect the adsorption of PEI-SMA for Reactive Black 5 (RB5), were systematically investigated by static adsorption experiments. The adsorption process of PEI-SMA for RB5 was more consistent with the Langmuir isotherm model and the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting a single-layer chemisorption. PEI-SMA exhibits excellent adsorption performance for RB5 dye, with a maximum adsorption capacity of 1749.19 mg g-1 at pH = 2. Additionally, PEI-SMA exhibited highly efficient RB5 competitive adsorption against coexisting Cl- and SO42- ions and cationic dyes. The adsorption mechanism was explored, and it can be explained as the synergistic effect of electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding and π-π interaction. This study demonstrates that PEI-SMA could act as a high performance and promising candidate for the effective adsorption of anionic dyes from aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly promising adsorbents with notable properties such as elevated adsorption capacities and versatile surface design capabilities. This study introduces two distinct synthesis methods, one lasting 1 h and the other 24 h, for UiO-66 and NH2-UiO-66. While both methods yield structures with comparable crystallinity and morphology, the adsorption performance of the cationic methylene blue dye varies at different pH levels. Despite the 24 h synthesis time being optimal for maximum adsorption in both MOFs, the relative difference in NH2-UiO-66 adsorption percentage at different times suggests reduced dependency on synthesis time for this property. Notably, NH2-UiO-66 exhibits consistent and effective performance across three pH levels, warranting further investigation into its adsorption kinetics and isotherm. The achievement of high adsorption efficiency coupled with a significantly reduced synthesis time underscores the importance of developing simplified synthetic methods, essential for enhancing the practical applicability of MOFs in diverse applications.

Abstract
This study investigated the single and multicomponent adsorption of three emerging pollutants, the basic dyes Rhodamine 6G (R6G), Auramine-O (AO), and Brilliant Green (BG) by using hydroxyapatite synthesized from Pirarucu scales as adsorbent (HAP). The adsorption process was studied using seven different systems: AO-single, R6G-single, BG-single, R6G + AO, BG + AO, BG + R6G, and R6G + AO + BG. For kinetics, the initial concentration of each adsorbate per system was 50 mg/L, the results showed that the singular adsorption of these dyes was best-represented by the pseudo-second-order model (qAO = 62.54 mg/g, qR6G = 7.91 mg/g, qBG = 62.40 mg/g), however, the multicomponent adsorption was well-fitted by a pseudo-first-order model (ternary system: qAO = 56.21 mg/g, qR6G = 14.95 mg/g, qBG = 60.62 mg/g). For equilibrium, the initial concentration of each adsorbate per system was 10-300 mg/L, and the single adsorption systems were best represented by the Langmuir model. Nonetheless, the results displayed in the multicomponent mixture showed the presence of inflection points of AO and R6G whenever BG was present in solution with C0 > 150 mg/L, thus indicating that BG has greater affinity with HAP. The presence of inflection points in the curves represented a limitation for applying traditional equilibrium models, thus, an artificial neural network (ANN) was applied to non-linear curve fit this process and satisfactorily predicted the kinetics and equilibrium data. Finally, the analysis of thermodynamics for the ternary mixture revealed that the adsorption process is spontaneous (ΔG < 0), endothermic (ΔH > 0), and increases to a disorganized state as the temperature rises (ΔS > 0).

Abstract
MXenes are a recently emerging class of two-dimensional nanomaterials that have gained considerable interest in the field of environmental protection. Owing to their high surface area, abundant terminal groups, and unique two-dimensional layered structures, MXenes have demonstrated high efficacy as adsorbents for various pollutants. Here we focused on the latest developments in the field of MXene-based adsorbents, including the structure and properties of MXenes, their synthesis and modification methods, and their adsorption performance and mechanisms for various pollutants. Among the pollutants that have been reported to be adsorbed by MXenes are radionuclides (U(VI), Sr(II), Cs(I), Eu(III), Ba(II), Th(IV), and Tc(VII)/Re(VII)), heavy metals (Hg(II), Cu(II), Cr(VI), and Pb(II)), dyes, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), antibiotics (tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and sulfonamides), antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), and other contaminates. Moreover, future directions in MXene research are also suggested in this review.

Abstract
In the last few decades, Brilliant green (BG) dye is widely employed to colour the fabric materials in various industries (e.g. textile, pulp and paper, etc.). The wastewater containing BG dye emerges as a major challenge among the researchers due to its toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects on human beings and marine life. In this context, the present study is mainly focused on the biodegradation of BG dye present in wastewater. The biodegradation of BG dye was performed in an indigenously designed recirculating packed bed bioreactor (RPBBR). Modified Polypropylene-Polyurethane foam (PP-PUF), a support packing material, was immobilised with a newly isolated bacterial consortium of Enterobacter asburiae strain SG43 (BGT1) and Alcaligenes sp. SY1 (BGT2). The bioreactor was operated under various organic loading rates (OLRs) of 2.7, 1.27, 0.93, 0.71, and 0.53 kg COD/m3.d-1 with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 4 days. The bioreactor exhibited the maximum BG dye removal efficiency of 91%. Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H NMR), UV-Vis spectroscopy, Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) depicted the biodegradation of BG dye. Phaseolus mungo seeds germinated in BG dye biodegraded wastewater was significantly high (83.56%) than the untreated wastewater (32.4%), which was reasonably subjected to the detoxification of treated wastewater.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2024; 73:425-442.

Abstract
The potential of pyrolyzed Mytella falcata shells as an adsorbent for removing methylene blue dye molecules from aqueous solutions was investigated. The study found that the adsorbent produced at 600 °C of pyrolysis temperature, with an adsorbent mass of 0.5 g, particle diameter of 0.297-0.149 mm, and pH 12.0, demonstrated the highest dye molecule removal efficiency of 82.41%. The material's porosity was observed through scanning electron microscopy, which is favorable for adsorption, while Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and X-Ray diffraction analysis analyses confirmed the presence of calcium carbonate in the crystalline phases. The pseudo-second order model was found to be the best fit for the data, suggesting that the adsorption mechanism involves two steps: external diffusion and diffusion via the solid pores. The Redlich-Peterson isotherm model better represented the equilibrium data, and the methylene blue adsorption was found to be spontaneous, favorable, and endothermic. The hydrogen peroxide with UV oxidation was found to be the most efficient method of regeneration, with a regeneration percentage of 63% achieved using 600 mmol.L-1 of oxidizing agents. The results suggest that pyrolyzed Mytella falcata shells could serve as an ecologically viable adsorbent alternative, reducing the amount of waste produced in the local environment and at the same time removing pollutants from the water. The material's adsorption capacity remained almost constant in the first adsorption-oxidation cycles, indicating its potential for repeated use.

Abstract
Biodegradation is regarded as an efficient way to decolorize azo dyes. However, the changes in the algal toxicity of azo dyes during biodecolorization are still unclear. In this study, the physiological responses of Chlorella vulgaris to the hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of cationic blue SD-GSL (a typical monoazo dye) and its biodecolorization products were investigated. The toxicity of each component to Chlorella vulgaris and the sources of the toxicity were analyzed. The cationic blue SD-GSL components inhibited the algal cell division and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity at all concentrations, and inhibited the synthesis of chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) at concentrations >100 mg/L, whereas increased the malondialdehyde (MDA) content. The hydrophobic and hydrophilic components of its biodecolorization products had enhanced inhibition rates on cell density (10.7% and 15.6%, respectively), Chl-a content (31.2% and 8.4%, respectively), and SOD activity (13.5% and 1.9%, respectively) of Chlorella vulgaris, and further stimulated an increase in MDA content (4.4% and 7.0%, respectively), indicating that the biodecolorization products were more toxic than the pristine dye. Moreover, the toxic effect of hydrophobic components on Chlorella vulgaris was stronger than that of hydrophilic components. The sensitivity sequence of Chlorella vulgaris to the toxicity of cationic blue SD-GSL and its biodecolorization product components was: Chl-a synthesis > SOD activity > cell division. SUVA analysis and 3D-EEM analysis revealed that the enhanced algal toxicity of the biodecolorization products of cationic blue SD-GSL was attributed to the aromatic compounds, which were mainly concentrated in the hydrophobic components. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was used to verify dye biodecolorization byproducts. The information obtained from this study helps to understand the decolorization products toxicities of the biologically treated azo dyes, thereby providing new insights into the environmental safety of textile wastewater after traditional biological treatment.

Abstract
The complexity of wastewater matrix poses a challenge for conventional processes especially due to the presence of refractory compounds such as dyes. The present work focuses on utilizing ultrasound-induced cavitation in conjunction with different oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide, Fenton's reagent and potassium persulfate to treat Procion Brilliant Purple H-3R dye containing wastewater. The impact of various operating parameters as pH, frequency, and power on degradation levels has been studied with the aim of optimizing degradation. The optimal conditions for the degradation of Procion Brilliant Purple H-3R were determined as pH of 12, frequency of 22 kHz, and power of 250 W, resulting in a maximum degradation of 70.25%. Combination of a cavitation reactor with hydrogen peroxide, Fenton reagent, and KPS was then applied at optimized conditions, which confirmed a notable enhancement in degradation compared to the only ultrasound based process. Specifically, the degradation extent was 95.99% for combination with H2O2 at 0.5 g/L loading, 99.79% for combination with Fenton at H2O2/Fe2+ ratio of 50:1, and 99.05% for combination with KPS at loading of 0.75 g/L. The kinetic rate constant for the combined approach of US + Fenton was also maximum at 7.47 × 10-1 L mg-1 min-1. Toxicity analysis was conducted on two bacterial strains, Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, using the wastewater in native form and after treatment. The various processes were evaluated in terms of the cavitational yield and overall treatment cost and it was determined that US + Fenton process is the most efficient treatment method for fully degrading Procion Brilliant Purple H-3R, particularly at larger scales of operation and cost efficiently as demonstrated in the work.

Abstract
Discharge of untreated dyeing wastewater nearby water-bodies is one of major causes of water pollution. Generally, bacterial strains isolated from industrial effluents and/or contaminated soils are used for the bioremediation of Methyl orange (MO), a mutagenic recalcitrant mono-azo dye, used in textiles and biomedical. However, MO degradation by biofilm producing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (BPPGPR) was not studied yet. In this study, 19 out of 21 BPPGPR strains decolorized 96.3-99.9% and 89.5-96.3% MO under microaerophilic and aerobic conditions, respectively from Luria-Bertani broth (LBB) followed by yeast-extract peptone and salt-optimized broth plus glycerol media within 120 h of incubation at 28 °C. Only selected BPPGPR including Pseudomonas fluorescens ESR7, P. veronii ESR13, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia ESR20, Staphylococcus saprophyticus ESD8, and P. parafulva ESB18 were examined for process optimization of MO decolorization using a single factor optimization method. This study showed that under optimal conditions (e.g., LBB, 100 mg L-1 MO, pH 7, incubation of 96 h, 28 °C), these strains could remove 99.1-99.8% and 97.6-99.5% MO under microaerophilic and aerobic conditions, respectively. Total azoreductase and laccase activities responsible for biodegradation were also remarkably activated in the biodegraded samples under optimal conditions, while these activities were repressed under unfavorable conditions (e.g., 40 °C and 7.5% NaCl). This study confirmed that MO was degraded and detoxified by these bacterial strains through breakage of azo bond. So far, this is the first report on bioremediation of MO by the BPPGPR strains. These BPPGPR strains are highly promising to be utilized for the bioremediation of dyeing wastewater in future.

Abstract
Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are class of porous coordination polymers made up of organic building blocks joined together by covalent bonding through thermodynamic and controlled reversible polymerization reactions. This review discussed versatile applications of COFs for remediation of wastewater containing dyes, emphasizing the advantages of both pristine and modified materials in adsorption, membrane separation, and advanced oxidations processes. The excellent performance of COFs towards adsorption and membrane filtration has been centered to their higher crystallinity and porosity, exhibiting exceptionally high surface area, pore size and pore volumes. Thus, they provide more active sites for trapping the dye molecules. On one hand, the photocatalytic performance of the COFs was attributed to their semiconducting properties, and when coupled with other functional semiconducting materials, they achieve good mechanical and thermal stabilities, positive light response, and narrow band gap, a typical characteristic of excellent photocatalysts. As such, COFs and their composites have demonstrated excellent potentialities for the elimination of the dyes.

Abstract
In the present study, bacterial nanocellulose/graphene oxide nano-biocomposites (BNC-GO-NBCs) were fabricated by Komagataeibacter saccharivorans NUWB1 using an in-situ method involving three time-dependent approaches. Physicochemical studies showed that the chosen dried BNC-GO-NBC possessed a three-dimensional interconnected porous structure of BNC with GO layers embedded within the BNC fibrils. BNC-GO-NBC had a crystallinity index of 74.21 %, higher thermostability up to 380 °C and could withstand a tensile load of 84.72 MPa. N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm of the BNC-GO-NBC was found to be of type IV, suggesting a mesoporous type structure with a total pore volume and surface area of 6.232e-04 cc g-1 and 10.498 m2. BNC-GO-NBC exhibited remarkable adsorption capacity for two cationic dyes, Rhodamine B (RhB) and Acridine Orange (AO), and the adsorption data conformed well to the Langmuir isotherm (R2 = 0.99) and pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic studies indicated that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Additionally, the BNC-GO-NBC displayed the potential for regeneration, with the ability to be recycled up to five times. Further, the antibacterial activity, cell cytotoxicity and oxidative stress assays of the BNC-GO-NBC revealed its non-cytotoxic nature. The findings of the present investigation evidently suggest the potentiality of BNC-GO-NBC in the application of dye adsorption and other environmental applications.

Abstract
The quest for advanced water purification technologies has been vigorous over recent decades, motivated by the promise of ever more efficient, greener, and affordable tools. Halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) are naturally-occurring materials that have shown potential as dye sorbents. Unfortunately, these nanoclays suffer from low permeation during water treatment, which limits their widespread application. Here, we use cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as structural scaffolds to support HNTs and fabricate permeable aerogel sorbent materials with mechanical stability. Aerogels containing 40 wt% HNTs showed a maximum dye adsorption capacity of 60 mg g-1 towards methylene blue, with only 15% decay in efficiency after 5 cycles. The good mechanical properties of these materials allowed for their incorporation into free-flowing purification columns that displayed excellent dye removal ability. Overall, this work provides a new strategy to fabricate green, renewable, and low-cost sorbent materials for the removal of dyes and shows potential for the sorption of other ionic pollutants.

Abstract
The objective of this work was to develop a low-cost and efficient biocarrier for biodegradation of azo dye (i.e., Congo red (CR) dye). The potential bacterial species, i.e., Lysinibacillus fusiformis KLM1 and Lysinibacillus macrolides KLM2, were isolated from the dye-contaminated site. These bacterial species were immobilized onto the polypropylene-polyurethane foam (PP-PUF) and employed in a moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) for the treatment of CR dye. The effectiveness of the MBBR was investigated by operating the bioreactor in a continuous mode at various initial CR dye concentrations (50-250 mg/L) for 113 days. The removal efficiency was found in the range of 88.4-64.6% when the initial dye concentration was varied from 50 to 250 mg/L. The maximum elimination capacity (EC) of 213.18 mg/L.d was found at 250 mg/L of CR dye concentration. In addition, the CR dye utilization rate in the MBBR was studied by using two kinetics, namely, first-order and second-order (Grau) models. The high regression coefficients (R2 > 0.97) and the satisfactory root mean square (RMSE) values (0.00096-0.02610) indicated the reasonable prediction of CR dye degradation rate by the Grau model.

Abstract
Face masks are an indispensable low-cost public healthcare necessity for containing viral transmission. After the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) became a pandemic, there was an unprecedented demand for, and subsequent increase in face mask production and use, leading to global ecological challenges, including excessive resource consumption and significant environmental pollution. Here, we review the global demand volume for face masks and the associated energy consumption and pollution potential throughout their life cycle. First, the production and distribution processes consume petroleum-based raw materials and other energy sources and release greenhouse gases. Second, most methods of mask waste disposal result in secondary microplastic pollution and the release of toxic gases and organic substances. Third, face masks discarded in outdoor environments represent a new plastic pollutant and pose significant challenges to the environment and wildlife in various ecosystems. Therefore, the long-term impacts on environmental and wildlife health aspects related to the production, use, and disposal of face masks should be considered and urgently investigated. Here, we propose five reasonable countermeasures to alleviate these global-scale ecological crises induced by mask use during and following the COVID-19 pandemic era: increasing public awareness; improving mask waste management; innovating waste disposal methods; developing biodegradable masks; and formulating relevant policies and regulations. Implementation of these measures will help address the pollution caused by face masks.

Abstract
The brightly colored synthetic dyes used in the textile industry are discharged at high concentrations-for example, various azo dyes including Methylene Blue (MB) and Methyl Orange (MO)-which is a matter of global concern, as such dyes are harmful to humans and the environment. Microbial degradation is considered an efficient alternative for overcoming the disadvantages of conventional physical and chemical dye removal methods. In this study, we investigated the potential of multiple types of the enzyme-producing extremophilic bacteria Bacillus FW2, isolated from food waste leachate, for the decolorization and bioremediation of artificial synthetic dyes. The screening of enzyme production and assaying of bacterial strain enzymes are essential for enhancing the breakdown of azo bonds in textile azo dyes. The degradation efficiencies of the water-soluble dyes MB and MO were determined at different concentrations using rice husk, which is an efficient substrate. Using the rice husks, the MO was removed completely within 20 h, and an estimated 99.8% of MB was degraded after 24 h by employing shaking at 120 rpm at 40 °C-whereas a removal efficiency of 98.9% was achieved for the combination of MB + MO. These results indicate the possibility of applying an extremophilic bacterial strain, Bacillus sp., for large-scale dye degradation in the future.

Abstract
Lignin modifying enzymes (LMEs) have gained widespread recognition in depolymerization of lignin polymers by oxidative cleavage. LMEs are a robust class of biocatalysts that include lignin peroxidase (LiP), manganese peroxidase (MnP), versatile peroxidase (VP), laccase (LAC), and dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP). Members of the LMEs family act on phenolic, non-phenolic substrates and have been widely researched for valorization of lignin, oxidative cleavage of xenobiotics and phenolics. LMEs implementation in the biotechnological and industrial sectors has sparked significant attention, although its potential future applications remain underexploited. To understand the mechanism of LMEs in sustainable pollution mitigation, several studies have been undertaken to assess the feasibility of LMEs in correlating to diverse pollutants for binding and intermolecular interactions at the molecular level. However, further investigation is required to fully comprehend the underlying mechanism. In this review we presented the key structural and functional features of LMEs, including the computational aspects, as well as the advanced applications in biotechnology and industrial research. Furthermore, concluding remarks and a look ahead, the use of LMEs coupled with computational frameworks, built upon artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), has been emphasized as a recent milestone in environmental research.

Abstract
Biological treatment methods overcome many of the drawbacks of physicochemical strategies and play a significant role in removing dye contamination for environmental sustainability. Numerous microorganisms have been investigated as promising dye-degrading candidates because of their high metabolic potential. However, few can be applied on a large scale because of the extremely harsh conditions in effluents polluted with multiple dyes, such as alkaline pH, high salinity/heavy metals/dye concentration, high temperature, and oxidative stress. Therefore, extremophilic microorganisms offer enormous opportunities for practical biodegradation processes as they are naturally adapted to multi-stress conditions due to the special structure of their cell wall, capsule, S-layer proteins, extracellular polymer substances (EPS), and siderophores structural and functional properties such as poly-enzymes produced. This review provides scientific information for a broader understanding of general dyes, their toxicity, and their harmful effects. The advantages and disadvantages of physicochemical methods are also highlighted and compared to those of microbial strategies. New techniques and methodologies used in recent studies are briefly summarized and discussed. In particular, this study addresses the key adaptation mechanisms, whole-cell, enzymatic degradation, and non-enzymatic pathways in aerobic, anaerobic, and combination conditions of extremophiles in dye degradation and decolorization. Furthermore, they have special metabolic pathways and protein frameworks that contribute significantly to the complete mineralization and decolorization of the dye when all functions are turned on. The high potential efficiency of microbial degradation by unculturable and multi-enzyme-producing extremophiles remains a question that needs to be answered in practical research.

Abstract
Bio-electrochemical systems (BESs) have attracted wide attention in the field of wastewater treatment owing to their fast electron transfer rate and high performance. Unfortunately, the low electro-chemical activity of carbonaceous materials commonly used in BESs remains a bottleneck for their practical applications. Especially, for refractory pollutants remediation, the efficiency is largely limited by the cathode property in term of (bio)-electrochemical reduction of highly oxidized functional groups. Herein, a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and polyaniline (PANI) modified electrode was fabricated via two-step electro-deposition using carbon brush as raw material. Benefiting from the modified graphene sheets and PANI nanoparticles, the rGO/PANI electrode shows highly conductive network with the electro-active surface area increased by 12 times (0.013 mF cm-2) and the charge transfer resistance decreased by 92% (0.23Ω) comparing with the unmodified one. Most importantly, the rGO/PANI electrode used as abiotic cathode achieves highly efficient azo dye removal from wastewater. The highest decolorization efficiency reaches 96 ± 0.03% within 24 h and the maximum decolorization rate is as high as 20.9 ± 1.45 g h-1·m-3. The features of improved electro-chemical activity and enhanced pollutant removal efficiency provide a new insight toward development of high performance BESs via electrode modification for practical application.

Abstract
Toxic wastes like heavy metals and dyes are released into the environment as a direct result of industrialization and technological progress. The biosorption of contaminants utilizes a variety of biomaterials. Biosorbents can adsorb toxic pollutants on their surface through various mechanisms like complexation, precipitation, etc. The quantity of sorption sites that are accessible on the surface of the biosorbent affects its effectiveness. Biosorption’s low cost, high efficiency, lack of nutrient requirements, and ability to regenerate the biosorbent are its main advantages over other treatment methods. Optimization of environmental conditions like temperature, pH, nutrient availability, and other factors is a prerequisite to achieving optimal biosorbent performance. Recent strategies include nanomaterials, genetic engineering, and biofilm-based remediation for various types of pollutants. The removal of hazardous dyes and heavy metals from wastewater using biosorbents is a strategy that is both efficient and sustainable. This review provides a perspective on the existing literature and brings it up-to-date by including the latest research and findings in the field.

Abstract
Fungi make a fundamental contribution to several biotechnological processes, including brewing, winemaking, and the production of enzymes, organic acids, alcohols, antibiotics, and pharmaceuticals. The present review explores the biotechnological importance of the filamentous yeast-like fungus Geotrichum candidum, a ubiquitous species known for its use as a starter in the dairy industry. To uncover G. candidum's biotechnological role, we performed a search for related work through the scientific indexing internet services, Web of Science and Google Scholar. The following query was used: Geotrichum candidum, producing about 6500 scientific papers from 2017 to 2022. From these, approximately 150 that were associated with industrial applications of G. candidum were selected. Our analysis revealed that apart from its role as a starter in the dairy and brewing industries, this species has been administered as a probiotic nutritional supplement in fish, indicating improvements in developmental and immunological parameters. Strains of this species produce a plethora of biotechnologically important enzymes, including cellulases, β-glucanases, xylanases, lipases, proteases, and α-amylases. Moreover, strains that produce antimicrobial compounds and that are capable of bioremediation were identified. The findings of the present review demonstrate the importance of G. candidum for agrifood- and bio-industries and provide further insights into its potential future biotechnological roles.

Abstract
Dyes are being increasingly utilized across the globe, but there is no appropriate method of bioremediation for their full mineralization from the environment. Laccases are key enzymes that help microbes to degrade dyes as well as their intermediate metabolites. Various dyes have been reported to be degraded by bacteria, but it is still unclear how these enzymes function during dye degradation. To effectively eradicate toxic dyes from the system, it is essential to understand the molecular function of enzymes. As a result, the interaction of laccase with different toxic dyes was investigated using molecular docking. Based on the highest binding energy we have screened ten dyes with positive interaction with laccase. Evaluating the MD simulation results, three out of ten dyes were more stable as potential targets for degradation by laccase of Bacillus subtilis. As a result, subsequent research focused solely on the results of three substrates: pigment red, fuchsin base, and Sudan IV. Analysis of MD simulation revealed that pigments red 23, fuchsin base, and Sudan IV form hydrogen and hydrophobic bond as well as Vander Waals interactions with the active site of laccase to keep it stable in aqueous solution. The conformation of laccase is greatly altered by the inclusion of all three substrates in the active site. The MD simulation findings show that laccase complexes remain stable throughout the catalytic reaction. Therefore, this research provides a molecular understanding of laccase expression and its role in the bioremediation of the pigments red 23, fuchsin base, and Sudan IV.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Biofilm-mediated decolorization, degradation and detoxification of synthetic effluent by novel biofilm-producing bacteria isolated from textile dyeing effluent. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 314:120237. [PMID: 36150625 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.120237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2022] [Revised: 08/30/2022] [Accepted: 09/17/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Biofilm-mediated bioremediation of xenobiotic pollutants is an environmental friendly biological technique. In this study, 36 out of 55 bacterial isolates developed biofilms in glass test tubes containing salt-optimized broth plus 2% glycerol (SOBG). Scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Congo red- and Calcofluor binding results showed biofilm matrices contain proteins, curli, nanocellulose-rich polysaccharides, nucleic acids, lipids, and peptidoglycans. Several functional groups including -OH, N-H, C-H, CO, COO-, -NH2, PO, C-O, and C-C were also predicted. By sequencing, ten novel biofilm-producing bacteria (BPB) were identified, including Exiguobacterium indicum ES31G, Kurthia gibsonii ES43G, Kluyvera cryocrescens ES45G, Cedecea lapagei ES48G, Enterobacter wuhouensis ES49G, Aeromonas caviae ES50G, Lysinibacillus sphaericus ES51G, Acinetobacter haemolyticus ES52G, Enterobacter soli ES53G, and Comamonas aquatica ES54G. The Direct Red (DR) 28 (a carcinogenic and mutagenic dye used in dyeing and biomedical processes) decolorization process was optimized in selected bacterial isolates. Under optimum conditions (SOBG medium, 75 mg L-1 dye, pH 7, 28 °C, microaerophilic condition and within 72 h of incubation), five of the bacteria tested could decolorize 97.8% ± 0.56-99.7% ± 0.45 of DR 28 dye. Azoreductase and laccase enzymes responsible for biodegradation were produced under the optimum condition. UV-Vis spectral analysis revealed that the azo (-NN-) bond peak at 476 nm had almost disappeared in all of the decolorized samples. FTIR data revealed that the foremost characteristic peaks had either partly or entirely vanished or were malformed or stretched. The chemical oxygen demand decreased by 83.3-91.3% in the decolorized samples, while plant probiotic bacterial growth was indistinguishable in the biodegraded metabolites and the original dye. Furthermore, seed germination (%) was higher in the biodegraded metabolites than the parent dye. Thus, examined BPB could provide potential solutions for the bioremediation of industrial dyes in wastewater.

Abstract
Synthetic aromatic compounds consisting of various functional groups are known as dyes. These colored compounds are often discharged in effluents, and they are very dangerous to aquatic life. Basically, the dye industry started by using natural plant and insect sources, and then suddenly turned into artificial manufacturing. Natural equilibrium of our environment gets changed by the reduction in photosynthetic activity due to the dyes. In China 900,000 tons of all kinds of dyes are usually produced, which are used in many industries like food, textile, food, paper and leather. Untreated wastewater contaminates aquatic bodies by causing eutrophication, change in water color, oxygen depletion which affect aquatic organisms to a great extent. Dye wastewater is now the key environmental pollution form. In recent eras an extensive study line has been developed to explore the dye decolorization and biodegradation under both aerobic as well as anaerobic conditions. In this review, the chemistry, toxicity and microbial biodegradation/decolorization are presented. Some recent studies along with the new techniques and methodologies of remediating the dye pollution are also discussed to provide the bases of their handling. Overall, efficient and high biodegradation potential make microbes an impending foundation for green chemistry to eradicate toxic dyes from industrial wastewater.

Abstract
Mesoporous carbon (MC) derived from cassava starch was used to remove Acid Blue 113 azo dye from aqueous solutions. The influence of temperature, pH, ionic strength, and the adsorbent dose was investigated in a set of batch experiments. Experimental data showed that Acid Blue 113 adsorption was higher in the acid pH range than in the alkaline one, that dye adsorption increases when the ionic strength and temperature increase, and that adsorption results presented a good correlation with the Langmuir isotherm model. The adsorption capacity of MC was 295 mg g-1, at pH = 7.0 and 298 K, respectively. Zeta potential (ζ) showed the compression of the diffuse double layer of adsorbent with an increase in temperature and ionic strength, promoting the decrease of electrostatic repulsion between the negatively charged surface of the carbon particles and the anionic dye. Thermodynamic results demonstrate that the adsorption process was spontaneous and endothermic. Moreover, for the first time, this work has demonstrated that the pH, temperature, and ionic strength of the aqueous medium are also able to change the surface charge of carbon-based adsorbents and surely influence the adsorption capacity. Finally, the regeneration of the adsorbent by the photo-Fenton reaction regenerated the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent without generating secondary pollution to the environment.

Abstract
The present study is an attempt to assess the cytogenotoxic effect of untreated and methyl orange treated with Oedogonium subplagiostomum AP1 on Allium cepa roots. On the fifth day, root growth, root length, mitotic index, mitotic inhibition/depression, and chromosomal abnormalities were measured in root cells of Allium cepa subjected to untreated and treated methyl orange dye solutions. Roots exposed to treated dye solution exhibited maximum root growth, root length and mitotic index, whereas roots exposed to untreated dye solution had the most mitotic inhibition and chromosomal abnormalities. Allium cepa exposed to untreated dye solution revealed chromosomal aberrations such as disoriented and abnormal chromosome grouping, vagrant and laggard chromosomes, chromosomal loss, sticky chain and disturbed metaphase, pulverised and disturbed anaphase, chromosomal displacement in anaphase, abnormal telophase, and chromosomal bridge at telophase, spindle disturbances and binucleate cells. The comet test was used to quantify DNA damage in the root cells of A. cepa subjected to untreated and treated methyl orange solutions in terms of tail DNA (percent) and tail length. The results concluded that A. cepa exposed to methyl orange induced DNA damage whereas meager damage was noted in the treated dye solution. As a result, the research can be used as a biomarker to detect the genotoxic effects of textile dyes on biota.
