Decolourization of textile dye Reactive Violet 5 by a newly isolated bacterial consortium RVM 11.1
Soil samples collected from contaminated sites of Vatva, Gujarat, India were studied for screening and isolation of organisms capable of decolourizing textile dyes. A bacterial consortium RVM 11.1 was selected on the basis of rapid dye decolourization. Reactive Violet 5 (RV 5) was used as model dye....

Summary: | Soil samples collected from contaminated sites of Vatva, Gujarat, India were studied for screening and isolation of organisms capable of decolourizing textile dyes. A bacterial consortium RVM 11.1 was selected on the basis of rapid dye decolourization. Reactive Violet 5 (RV 5) was used as model dye. The consortium exhibited 94% decolourization ability within 37 h under a wide pH range from 6.5 to 8.5 and temperature ranging from 25 to 40 °C. The bacterial consortium was able to grow and decolourize RV5 under static conditions in the presence of glucose and yeast extract and also showed an ability to decolourize in the presence of starch in place of glucose. Maximum decolourization efficiency was observed at 200 ppm (mg/l) concentration of RV 5. Bacterial consortium RVM11.1 had the ability to decolourize 10 different dyes tested. The transformation and degradation products after decolourization were examined by HPTLC.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT] |
