Wadhawan G, Kalra A, Gupta A. Potential of halophiles and alkaliphiles in bioremediation of azo dyes-laden textile wastewater: a review. 3 Biotech 2024; 14:194. [PMID: 39131176 PMCID: PMC11306850 DOI: 10.1007/s13205-024-04036-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2023] [Accepted: 07/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024] Open
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.

Eco-toxicological effect of a commercial dye Rhodamine B on freshwater microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. Arch Microbiol 2022; 204:658. [PMID: 36183287 DOI: 10.1007/s00203-022-03254-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022]
Abstract
In this study, the acute toxicity effects of a fluorescent xanthene dye, Rhodamine B (RhB), widely used in textile, paper, and leather industries was investigated on a freshwater microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. The acute toxicity of RhB on C. vulgaris was determined by examining the growth, cell morphology, pigment production, protein content, and the activities of oxidative stress enzymes. Based on the results of the toxicity study of 24-96 h, the median inhibitory concentration (IC50) values ranged from 69.94 to 31.29 mg L-1. The growth of C. vulgaris was conspicuously inhibited by RhB exposure, and the cell surfaces appeared to be seriously shrunk in SEM analysis. The growth of C. vulgaris was hindered after exposure to graded concentrations (10-50 mg L-1) of RhB. A significant reduction in growth rate, pigment synthesis (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and carotenoid), and protein content was recorded in a dose-dependent manner. After 96 h exposure of C. vulgaris to 50 mg L-1 RhB, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotenoids, and protein contents were reduced by 71.59, 74.90, 65.84, and 74.20%, respectively. The activities of the antioxidant enzymes peroxidase (POD), and catalase (CAT) also increased markedly in the presence of RhB. A notable effect was observed on oxidative enzymes catalase and peroxidase, indicating that oxidative stress may be the primary factor in the inhibition of growth and pigment synthesis. Consequently, the experimental acute toxicity data were compared to the QSAR prediction made by the ECOSAR programme. Results showed that the experimental acute toxicity values were 67.74-fold lower than the ECOSAR predicted values. The study provides convincing evidence for the metabolic disruption in the ubiquitous microalgae C. vulgaris due to the RhB dye toxicity.

Transcriptome profiling reveals upregulation of benzoate degradation and related genes in Pseudomonas aeruginosa D6 during textile dye degradation. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2022; 212:113288. [PMID: 35427588 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113288] [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: 12/02/2021] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 04/08/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
An upsurge in textile dye pollution has demanded immediate efforts to develop an optimum technology for their bioremediation. However, the molecular mechanism underpinning aerobic decolorization of dyes is still in its infancy. Thus, in the current work, the intricacies of aerobic remediation of textile dyes by Pseudomonas aeruginosa D6 were understood via a transcriptomic approach. The bacterium isolated from the sludge sample of a common effluent treatment plant was able to decolorize 54.42, 57.66, 50.84 and 65.86% of 100 mg L-1 of four different dyes i.e., TD01, TD04, TD05, and TD06, respectively. The maximum decolorization was achieved within six days and thus, the first and sixth day of incubation were selected for transcriptome analysis at the early and late phase of the decolorization, respectively. The expression profiles of all samples were compared to gain insight into the dye-specific response of bacterium and it was found that it behaved most uniquely in the presence of the dye TD01. Several genes critical to core metabolic processes like the TCA cycle, glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, translation, cell motility etc. Were found to be overexpressed in the presence of dyes. Interestingly, in response to dyes, the benzoate degradation pathway was significantly upregulated in the bacterium as compared to control (i.e., bacterium without dye). Thus, seven genes contributing to the induction of the same were further studied by RT-qPCR analysis. Overall, the involvement of the benzoate pathway implies the appearance of aromatic intermediates during decolorization, which in turn infers dye degradation.

Abstract
The textile industry uses large amounts of dyes like reactive, azo, anthraquinone, and triphenylmethane to colour textiles. Dyes that are not used up during the colouration process usually end up in water bodies as waste leading to the pollution of the water bodies. This makes the industry to be one of the major contributors to water pollution in the world. Bacterial agents isolated from various sources like dye contaminated soil and textile wastewater have shown to have the ability to effectively decolourise and degrade these dye pollutants leading to improved water quality. This review discusses bacterial isolates that have been used successfully to degrade and decolourise textile dyes, their mode of dye removal as well as the factors that affect their dye degradation ability. It further looks at the latest wastewater treatment technologies that incorporate bacterial microorganisms to treat dye wastewater.

Abstract
Azo dyes, known for its toxicity and mutagenicity, are used by textile industries. Bioremediation serves the best alternative treatment process due to its eco-friendly nature and cost-effectiveness. Degradation using individual bacteria promotes azo dye removal, while the degradation is enhanced using the immobilization method. Bio-carrier promotes the attachment of the bacterial strains and increases azo dye degradation. The present study focuses on the biodegradation of Reactive Red (RR), Reactive Brown (RB), Reactive Black dye (RBL), and mixed dyes in a soil slurry bioreactor containing free cells, co-culture, and immobilized cells. The physico-chemical analysis and soil characteristics were determined. The free cells of Bacillus cereus showed degradation of azo dyes - 79.42 ± 0.03% RR, 78.78 ± 0.02% RBL; 70.76 ± 0.03% RB, and 84.89 ± 0.05% of mixed dyes respectively. Enterobacter cloacae free cells resulted in degradation of 72.87 ± 0.01% RR, 75.21 ± 0.01% RBL, 74.50 ± 0.02% RB, and 73.39 ± 0.04% mixed dyes respectively. Co-cultured bacterial strains resulted in 77.18 ± 0.03% RR, 80.27 ± 0.02% RBL, 76.97 ± 0.02% RB and 86.29 ± 0.05% mixed dyes respectively. The immobilization of Bacillus cereus and Enterobacter cloacae on 2% corn starch resulted in 98.4 ± 0.01% degradation of RR, 89.8 ± 0.09% degradation of RB, 99.4 ± 0.05% of RBL, and 98.1 ± 0.08% of mixed reactive dyes respectively.

Abstract
The optimization of the bacterium Pseudomonas stutzeri SPM-1, obtained from textile wastewater dumping sites of Surat, Gujarat was studied for the degradation of the textile azo dye Procion Red-H3B. The strain showed significant activities of azoreductase (95%), laccase (76%) and NADH-DCIP reductase (88%) at 12, 10 and 8 h of growth, respectively, indicating the evidence for reductive cleavage of the dye. The optimization was carried on phenanthrene enrichment medium followed by exposing it to variable environmental factors and nutritional sources. The complete decolourization of dye (50 mg/L) happened within 20 h of incubation at pH 8 and temperature 32 ± 0.2 °C under microaerophilic condition. Decolourization was monitored with the shifting of absorbance peak in UV-Vis spectrophotometry and HPLC analysis. The changes in the functional groups were confirmed by the presence of new peaks in FT-IR data. GC-MS analysis helped in recognizing the degraded dye compounds thus elucidating the proposed pathway for Procion Red-H3B. The potential of bioremediation process was completed by phytotoxicity test using two plants Vigna radiata and Cicer arietinum. Our study concludes that the strain Pseudomonas stutzeri SPM-1, with its rapid decolourization efficiency holds noteworthy prospective in industrial application for textile wastewater treatment.
