Azo dyes decolorization by bacteria originated from textile wastewater

This study investigated the ability of previously isolated bacteria Escherichia sp., Acinetobacter sp., Enterobacter sp. and Klebsiella sp. in decolorizing Acid Orange 7 and Reactive Black 5. Screening results indicated the decolorization of Acid Orange 7 under facultative anaerobic condition was fa...

No decolorization of Acid Orange 7 and Reactive Black 5 was observed under aerobic conditions in the tested strains.

The effects of temperature, pH and concentration of nitrogen (NH4)2SO4 on Acid Orange 7 decolorization were studied.

At optimum temperature (37°C), Klebsiella sp. and Escherichia sp. were found to be able to decolorize 84% and 68% of Acid Orange 7, respectively.
