The present study focuses on the biodegradation of triphenylmethane dye crystal violet (CV) by Cedecea davisae. The degradation of CV was evaluated via ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (UV) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, and the kinetics was used to evaluate the degradation efficiency. Intermediate products were analyzed via UV-vis spectroscopy (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how solid-state NaOH pretreatment affects methane production from rose stalks using semi-dry anaerobic digestion at different NaOH levels (0, 1, 2, and 4%).
  • Results indicated that using NaOH significantly boosted both biogas and methane yields, with the 4% NaOH treatment achieving the highest methane yield and energy recovery, showing a 144% increase compared to no treatment.
  • Improved breakdown of lignocellulose and enhanced process stability were key factors contributing to the increased methane production in the NaOH-pretreated samples.
