Abstract
The textile industry contributes substantially to water pollution. To investigate bioremediation of dye-containing wastewater, the decolorization and biotransformation of three textile azo dyes, Red HE8B, Reactive Green 27, and Acid Blue 29, were considered using an integrated remediation approach involving the microalga Chlamydomonas mexicana and activated sludge (ACS). At a 5 mg L-1 dye concentration, using C. mexicana and ACS alone, decolorization percentages of 39%-64% and 52%-54%, respectively, were obtained. In comparison, decolorization percentages of 75%-79% were obtained using a consortium of C. mexicana and ACS. The same trend was observed for the decolorization of dyes at higher concentrations, but the potential for decolorization was low. The toxic azo dyes adversely affect the growth of microalgae and at high concentration 50 mg L-1 the growth rate inhibited to 50-60% as compared to the control. The natural textile wastewater was also treated with the same pattern and got promising results of decolorization (90%). Moreover, the removal of BOD (82%), COD (72%), TN (64%), and TP (63%) was observed with the consortium. The HPLC and GC-MS confirm dye biotransformation, revealing the emergence of new peaks and the generation of multiple metabolites with more superficial structures, such as N-hydroxy-aniline, naphthalene-1-ol, and sodium hydroxy naphthalene. This analysis demonstrates the potential of the C. mexicana and ACS consortium for efficient, eco-friendly bioremediation of textile azo dyes.

Abstract
Various types of colored pigments have been recovered naturally from biological sources including shells, flowers, insects, and so on in the past. At present, such natural colored substances (dyes) are replaced by manmade dyes. On the other hand, due to their continuous usage in various purpose, these artificial dyes or colored substances persist in the environmental surroundings. For example, industrial wastewater contains diverse pollutant substances including dyes. Several of these (artificial dyes) were found to be toxic to living organisms. In recent times, microbial-based removal of dye(s) has gained more attention. These methods were relatively inexpensive for eliminating such contaminants in the environmental system. Hence, various researchers were isolated microbes from environmental samples having the capability of decolorizing synthetic dyes from industrial wastewater. Furthermore, the microorganisms which are genetically engineered found higher degradative/decolorize capacity to target compounds in the natural environs. Very few reviews are available on specific dye treatment either by chemical treatments or by bacteria and/or fungal treatments. Here, we have enlightened literature reports on the removal of different dyes in microbes like bacteria (including anaerobic and aerobic), fungi, GEM, and microbial enzymes and also green-synthesized nanoparticles. This up-to-date literature survey will help environmental managements to co-up such contaminates in nature and will help in the decolorization of dyes.

Ali E, Amjad I, Rehman A. Evaluation of azo dyes degradation potential of fungal strains and their role in wastewater treatment. Saudi J Biol Sci 2023; 30:103734. [PMID: 37483839 PMCID: PMC10359666 DOI: 10.1016/j.sjbs.2023.103734] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/13/2023] [Revised: 06/25/2023] [Accepted: 06/30/2023] [Indexed: 07/25/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present investigation, two fungal strains were exploited to evaluate their degradation capability on Synozol Red, Yellow, and Navy-Blue dyes which gave the utmost decolorization such as 40%, 70%, 90% by Aspergillus niger, and 36%, 73%, 87% by Trichoderma viride, respectively for 60 days. The Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis of the decolorized dyes suggested that various compounds such as Caprolactam, Furazan-3-carboxamide, oxime, 4-amino-N, N-dimethyl, 6H-Pyrazolo[1,2-a] [1,2,4,5]tetrazine, Hexahydro-2,3-dimethyl, Benzene, 1-propenyl, Dihydroxymaleic acid, Arsenous acid, tris(trimethylsilyl) ester were produced by the fungi which helped in the removal of dyes from the wastewater. The laccase activity of the degraded dyes was proof that both of the strains positively produced the enzyme that helped in the biodegradation of carcinogenic dyes into less harmful products. The A. niger extracted laccase relative activity was 262%, 265%, and 145.7% for Synozol Yellow, Synozol Red, and Navy Blue, respectively. Similarly, laccase, obtained from T. viride, showed relative activity of 187.5% against Synozol Yellow, 215% against Synozol Red, and 202% against Navy Blue. Furthermore, the supernatant extracted from fungi-decolorized wastewater was used to check phytotoxicity on Vigna radiata, which gave excellent results. Both fungal strains, on the basis of their dye degradation potential, can be used to ameliorate wastewater contaminated with azo dyes.

Abstract
Azo compounds are widely distributed synthetic chemicals in the modern world. Their most important applications are as dyes, but, in addition, several azo compounds are used as pharmaceuticals. Ingested azo compounds can be reduced by the action of bacteria in the gut, where the oxygen tension is low, and the development of microbiome science has allowed more precise delineation of the roles of specific bacteria in these processes. Reduction of the azo bond of an azo compound generates two distinct classes of aromatic amine metabolites: the starting material that was used in the synthesis of the azo compound and a product which is formed de novo by metabolism. Reductive metabolism of azo compounds can have toxic consequences, because many aromatic amines are toxic/genotoxic. In this review, we discuss aspects of the development and application of azo compounds in industry and medicine. Current understanding of the toxicology of azo compounds and their metabolites is illustrated with four specific examples - Disperse Dyes used for dyeing textiles; the drugs phenazopyridine and eltrombopag; and the ubiquitous food dye, tartrazine - and knowledge gaps are identified.

Abstract
Biohydrogen production from microalgae is a potential alternative energy source that is now intensively being researched. The complex natures of the biological processes involved have afflicted the accuracy of traditional modelling and optimization, besides being costly. Accordingly, machine learning algorithms have been employed to overcome setbacks, as these approaches have the capability to predict nonlinear interactions and handle multivariate data from microalgal biohydrogen studies. Thus, the review focuses on revealing the recent applications of machine learning techniques in microalgal biohydrogen production. The working principles of random forests, artificial neural networks, support vector machines, and regression algorithms are covered. The applications of these techniques are analyzed and compared for their effectiveness, advantages and disadvantages in the relationship studies, classification of results, and prediction of microalgal hydrogen production. These techniques have shown great performance despite limited data sets that are complex and nonlinear. However, the current techniques are still susceptible to overfitting, which could potentially reduce prediction performance. These could be potentially resolved or mitigated by comparing the methods, should the input data be limited.

Abstract
Present study is aimed to evaluate the influence of earthworm (Eisenia fetida), Cyanobacteria (Cylindrospermum stagnale), and rice husk biochar (BC) on cadmium (Cd) detoxification in artificially contaminated soil. The Cd content was kept at 10 mg/kg in factorial design I, coupled with 2% and 0% BC. E. fetida and C. stagnale un-inoculated and inoculated experiments were maintained respectively as negative and positive controls. In factorial design II, E. fetida and C. stagnale were inoculated, along with BC (0% and 2%, denoted as B), without BC (WB), along with four different Cd concentrations (Cd-0, Cd-5, Cd-10, and Cd-20 mg/kg). Results suggest a substantial amount of Cd removal in BC-assisted treatments when compared to negative control-1. Cd (mg/g) in E. fetida tissue ranged from 0.019 (WB2) to 0.0985 (B4). C. stagnale of WB4 (0.036) bioaccumulated the most Cd (mg/g), while B2 showed the least (0.018). The maximum quantity of metallothionein (5.34 μM/mg) was detected in E. fetida of B4 (factorial design - II) and the minimum was claimed in WB1 (0.48 μM/mg) at the end. Earthworm metallothionein protein is a key component in Cd removal from soil by playing an important role in detoxification process. Microbial communities and humic substances were observed in BC-assisted treatments, which aided in Cd-contaminated soil remediation. The present findings suggest that BC (2%) + earthworms + algae could be a suitable remediation strategy for Cd contaminated soil. BC + earthworm + algal-based investigation on heavy metal remediation will be a valuable platform for detoxifying harmful metals in soils.

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
The study was aimed to improve the degradation of organic pollutants in municipal solid waste (MSW) through the bio-stimulation process. The results showed that the physico-chemical properties of MSW (control) had a high value of pH (9.2 ± 0.02); total suspended solids (TSS: 1547 ± 23 mg/kg-1), and total dissolved solids (TDS:76 ± 0.67 mg/kg-1). After the biostimulation process (biostimulated MSW), the physico-chemical parameters of MSW were reduced as pH (7.1 ± 0.01); TSS (41 ± 0.01 mg/kg-1), and TDS (789 ± 03 mg/kg-1). Furthermore, the major organic pollutants detected from MSW by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS) analysis at different retention time (RT) were hexadecane (RT-8.79); pentadecane (RT-9.36); and hexasiloxane (RT-9.43) while these organic pollutants were degraded after the biostimulation process. The whole-genome metagenome sequencing size (%) analyses showed major groups of bacteria (40.82%) followed by fungi (0.05%), virus (0.0032%), and archaea (0.0442%) in MSW. The species richness and evenness of the microbial community were decreased substantially due to the biostimulation treatment. The total number of genes in the biostimulated MSW (PS-3_11267) sample were 465302 whereas the number of genes in the control MSW (PS-4_11268) sample were 256807. Furthermore, the biostimulated MSW (PS-3_11267) aligned the reads to bacteria (19502525), fungi (40030), virus (3339), and archaea (12759) genomes whereas the control sample (PS-4_11268) aligned the reads to bacteria (17057259), fungi (19148), virus (1335), and archaea (18447) genomes. Moreover, the relative abundance at genus level in biostimulated MSW (PS-3_11267) (Ochrobactrum and Phenylobacterium), phylum; (Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria), and species (Chthoniobacter flavus and Vulgatibacter incomptus) level was the most abundant. The results provided valuable information regarding the degradation of organic pollutants in MSW by microbial communities through biostimulation for the prevention of soil pollution and health protection.

Abstract
The silver/palladium nanoparticles (Ag/Pd NPs) were efficiently absorb UV-Visible light and reveal greater photocatalytic activity as compared to monometallic NPs. The aim of this study is photodegradation of the industrial azo dye using bimetallic Ag/Pd NPs and monometallic Ag NPs in presence of UV light for wastewater treatment. Bacillariophyceae (diatom) algae extract was utilized for the green synthesized Ag and Ag/Pd NPs. Biosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by various useful characterization techniques viz. UV-Vis, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and XRD. The crystallite size is found to be ∼23 nm and ∼56 nm for Ag NPs and Ag/Pd NPs, respectively, which is same as results obtained from TEM analysis, as the particle size and shape were analyzed as ∼27 and ∼56 nm, with a spherical geometry. The NPs was used to develop the optimization parameters for dye degradation such as time, temperature, and NP concentrations. A total 15 runs were considered for the study and procured by statistical software. Response surface methodology technique was implied and Box-Behnken design (BBD) design was built into the workflow. The results of the present study manifested a good connection between experimental and predicted values (R2 = 0.9838). Therefore, present study promises that the prepared NPs possess excellent photocatalytic activity against harmful dyes.

Abstract
In this study, an attempt was made to decipher the underlying differential response mechanism of Klebsiella sp. KL-1 induced by exposure to disparate categories of dyestuffs in xylose (Xyl) co-metabolic system. Here, representative reactive black 5 (RB5), remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR) and malachite green (MG) belonging to the azo, anthraquinone and triphenylmethane categories were employed as three model dyestuffs. Klebsiella sp. KL-1 enabled nearly 98%, 80% or 97% removal of contaminants in assays Xyl + RB5, Xyl + RBBR or Xyl + MG after 48 h, which was respectively 16%, 11% or 22% higher than those in the assays devoid of xylose. LC-QTOF-MS revealed an increased formation of smaller molecular weight intermediates in assay Xyl + RB5, whereas more metabolic pathways were deduced in assay Xyl + RBBR. Metaproteomics analysis displayed remarkable proteome alteration with regards to the structural difference effect of dyestuffs by Klebsiella sp. KL-1. Significant (p-value<0.05) activation of pivotal candidate NADH-quinone oxidoreductase occurred after 48 h of disparate dyestuff exposure but with varying abundance. Dominant FMN-dependent NADH-azoreductase, Cytochrome d terminal oxidase or Thiol peroxidase were likewise deemed to be responsible for the catalytic cleavage of RB5, RBBR or MG, respectively. Further, the differential response mechanism towards the structurally discrepant dyestuffs was put forward. Elevated reducing force associated with the corresponding functional proteins/enzymes was transferred to the exterior of the cell to differentially decompose the target contaminants. Overall, this study was dedicated to provide in-depth insights into the molecular response mechanism of co-metabolic degradation of refractory and structurally discrepant dyestuffs by an indigenous isolated Klebsiella strain.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2022; 306:119453. [PMID: 35569624 DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119453] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2022] [Revised: 04/22/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
In this study, Bacillus sp. strain AVPP64 was isolated from diuron-contaminated soil. It showed 4-nitroaniline (4-NA) degradation, pesticide tolerance, and self-nutrient integration via nitrogen (N)-fixation and phosphate (P)-solubilization. The rate constant (k) and half-life period (t1/2) of 4-NA degradation in the aqueous medium inoculated with strain AVPP64 were observed to be 0.445 d-1 and 1.55 d, respectively. Nevertheless, in the presence of chlorpyrifos, profenofos, atrazine and diuron pesticides, strain AVPP64 degraded 4-NA with t1/2 values of 2.55 d, 2.26 d, 2.31 d and 3.54 d, respectively. The strain AVPP64 fixed 140 μg mL-1 of N and solubilized 103 μg mL-1 of P during the presence of 4-NA. In addition, strain AVPP64 produced significant amounts of plant growth-promoting metabolites like indole 3-acetic acid, siderophores, exo-polysaccharides and ammonia. In the presence of 4-NA and various pesticides, strain AVPP64 greatly increased the growth and biomass of Vigna radiata and Crotalaria juncea plants. These results revealed that Bacillus sp. strain AVPP64 can be used as an inoculum for bioremediation of 4-NA contaminated soil and sustainable crop production even when pesticides are present.

Abstract
Textile industrial effluents have long enunciated the essentiality of ascertaining an efficient wastewater treatment for the removal of azo dyes given their potential disturbances on the ecosystem. Our study investigated the efficiency of the strain SKF2 among 14 other isolates, molecularly identified to be Scedosporium apiospermum, isolated by our research group from the textile effluent sludge in the degradation of two azo dyes, Reactive Yellow 145 and Remazol Yellow RR. Kinetic profiling of the degradation process revealed the decolourisation efficiency to be 94.8 and 86.9% for RY 145 and RYRR, respectively, during the declining growth phase. Laccase and polyphenol oxidase (RY 145-2.37 and RYRR-2.30 U/mL; RY 145-3.26 and RYRR-2.89 U/mL, respectively) were found to influence the biodegradation process in both the dyes than the other examined fungal degradative enzymes. The metabolic pathway predicted with the aid of GC-MS analysis identified the degraded metabolites to be smaller molecular weight non-toxic products. Assessment of toxicity via brine shrimp lethality assay (RY 145-23.3% and RYRR-16.7%, respectively) and seed germination assay (RY 145-96.7% and RYRR-83.3%) further solidified the detoxified status of both the dyes after biodegradation. The experimental data thus substantiated the expediency of S. apiospermum SKF2 in the degradation of textile azo dyes and its further employment in the bioremediation of textile wastewaters for agricultural applications and ecological recycling.

Abstract
AIMS To produce tin oxide (SnO2 ) nanoparticles (NP) with microalga for use in azo dye polluted wastewater treatment and to optimize the conditions to synthesize as small NPs as possible. METHODS AND RESULTS The green microalga Chlorella vulgaris mediated NPs were synthesized after an optimization process utilizing the statistical response surface methodology (RSM). The optimized synthesis conditions were 200 W microwave power, 0.5 mM SnCl2 concentration, and 200 °C calcination temperature. Methyl orange (MO) was studied for its photocatalytic degradation with UV. Antibacterial activity against four pathogenic bacteria was studied using the well diffusion method. Cytotoxicity was measured using the MMT assay with lung cancer cell line A549, and antioxidant activity using DPPH radical scavenging. Following the optimization of their production, the produced crystalline SnO2 NPs were on average 32.2 nm (by XRD) with a hydrodynamic size of 52.5 nm (by LDS). Photocatalytic degradation of MO under UV was nearly complete (94% removal) after 90 min and the particles could be reused for 5 cycles retaining 80% activity. The particles had antibacterial activity towards all five tested bacterial pathogens with the minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 22 to 36 μg/ml. The minimum bactericidal NP concentration varied between 83 and 136 μg/ml. Antioxidant activity was concentration dependent. A cytotoxicity was determined towards A549 cells with an LD50 of 188 μg/ml after 24 h of incubation, a concentration that is much higher than the active concentration for dye removal ranging from 22 to 36 μg/ml. CONCLUSIONS After optimization, SnO2 nanoparticles produced with C. vulgaris displayed high photocatalytic activity at concentrations below their antibacterial and cytotoxic activity. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY The SnO2 nanoparticles produced with the help of microalgae are suitable for the removal of MO dye from wastewater. Further applications of this green technology can be expected.

Abstract
Dyes are intensively used in textile and dyeing industries, and substantial volumes of organic wastewater with residual dye require treatment before discharges to public waterways. Flotation separation is an efficient and widely used method for the treatment of massive organic dye wastewaters. The key scientific problems for dye flotation separation lie in the mineralization transformation of dissolved dye to tangible flocs. In this work, a high-efficiency removal of hazardous azo dye Congo red (CR) from simulated wastewaters via metal ions chelation flocculation followed by flotation separation was proposed. It's demonstrated that CR can be chelated by the trivalent metal ions, including Al(III), Fe(III), and its mixture to form hydrophobic flocs, and then the flocs were efficiently removed via flotation in a microbubble column. The effects of chelation flocculation and flotation separation conditions on the removal efficiencies of CR, COD, and chromaticity from CR simulated wastewaters were optimized. Chelation effect of CR by trivalent metal ions was in this order: Al(III)+Fe(III)>Fe(III)>Al(III). The chelation mechanism suggested that CR molecules gradually changed from hydrazones to electronegative azo with the increase of pH to 6-7, and electrostatic attraction between the Al3(OH)45+ or Fe(OH)2+ with the CR was favorable for the chelation reaction, in which the metal ions chelated with N atoms on naphthalene ring and amino groups of CR. Over 99% CR was removed under the optimal chelation and flotation conditions: chelation by composite Al(III)/Fe(III) with a concentration of 25 mg/L at pH of 7 for 25min; followed by flotation with SDS concentration of 20 mg/L and air flow rate of 50 mL/min for 20min. Under this condition, the COD and chromaticity removal efficiency were over 96% and 98%, respectively, and the turbidity was lower than 0.1 NTU, meeting the water discharge requirement. Eventually, resourceful utilization of flotation sludge via calcination was conducted to prepare Al-Fe spinel refractory material.

Abstract
Bi-metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have appeared to be more efficient as antimicrobials than mono-metallic NPs. The fungus Aspergillus terreus-mediated synthesis of bi-metallic Ag-Cu NPs was optimized using response surface methodology (RSM) to reach the maximum yield of NPs. The optimal conditions were validated using ANOVA. The optimal conditions were 1.5 mM total metal (Ag + Cu) concentration, 1.25 mg fungal biomass, 350 W microwave power, and 15 min reaction time. The structure and shape of the synthesized NPs (mostly 20–30 nm) were characterized using several analytical tools. The biological activities of the synthesized NPs were assessed by studying their antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic activity in different NP concentrations. A dose-dependent response was observed in each test. Bi-metallic Ag-Cu NPs inhibited three clinically relevant human pathogens: Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, and Staphylococcus aureus were inhibited less. The DPPH and hydrogen peroxide scavenging activities of the NPs were high, reaching 90% scavenging. Ag-Cu NPs could be studied as antimicrobials in different applications. The optimization procedure using statistical analyses was successful in improving the yield of nanoparticles.
