Biofilm mediated decolorization and degradation of reactive red 170 dye by the bacterial consortium isolated from the dyeing industry wastewater sediments.

Reactive dyes are extensively used in a plethora of industries, which in turn release toxic wastes into the environment. The textile dye waste remediation is crucial as it may contain several toxic elements. The utilization of bacterial consortium for bioremediation has acquired consideration, over the utilization of single strains.

Optimization for enhanced ecofriendly decolorization and detoxification of Reactive Blue160 textile dye by .

The bacterial strain capable of decolorization and detoxification of the Reactive Blue 160 dye was isolated from a dye waste disposal site of Tirupur textile industries. The bacterial strain was screened and selected based on its decolorization capability of RB 160dye, which was identified as by 16S rRNA sequencing. The strain was tested for the decolorization potential under different physio-chemical experimental conditions (pH, temperature, agitation, non-agitation) and observed a complete decolorization at pH 7 and 35 °C under shaking condition within 48 h of time.

Biodegradation of textile dye Reactive Blue 160 by (Bacillaceae: Bacillales) and non-target toxicity screening of their degraded products.

The study was envisioned to evaluate the decolorization of Reactive Blue 160 (RB160) dye by using indigenous microbes. Contaminated soil from textile dye industry was collected from Noyyal river basin, Tamil Nadu, India. Potential dye degrading bacterial strain was recognized as by 16SrRNA gene sequencing analysis.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms for the enhanced phytoremediation of heavy metals through plant growth promoting rhizobacteria: A review.

Rapid industrialization, modern agricultural practices and other anthropogenic activities add a significant quantity of toxic heavy metals into the environment, which induces severe toxic effects on all form of living organisms, alter the soil properties and its biological activity. Remediation of heavy metal contaminated sites has become an urgent necessity. Among the existing strategies, phytoremediation is an eco-friendly and much convincing tool for the remediation of heavy metals.

Characterization of multifarious plant growth promoting traits of rhizobacterial strain AR6 under Chromium (VI) stress.

Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can increase the host plant tolerance to cope up with heavy metal induced stress, which can be improve plant growth. Thus, the present study was designed to isolate Cr(VI) tolerant PGPR strain and evaluate its plant growth promoting (PGP) properties under Cr(VI) stress. Rhizobacterial strain AR6 was isolated from the rhizosphere of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Evaluation of Cr(VI) reduction mechanism and removal by Cellulosimicrobium funkei strain AR8, a novel haloalkaliphilic bacterium.

The present study, a novel haloalkaliphilic Cr(VI) tolerant bacterial strain, Cellulosimicrobium funkei AR8, was isolated and characterized for its high Cr(VI) reduction. In batch experiments, Cr(VI) reduction was evaluated under different parametric conditions which include different pH (5-9), temperature (25-45°C), NaCl (0-3%) and Cr(VI) concentrations (100-250μg/ml). Variations in the cell surface functional groups and morphology of the bacterial cells after Cr(VI) reduction were characterized by FT-IR and SEM-EDX.
