Decolorization and detoxification of Brilliant Crocein GR by a newly enriched thermophilic consortium

The environmental pollution caused by azo dyes at high temperatures has become an urgent problem. However, little attention has been paid to decolorizing azo dyes by thermophilic consortiums. In this study, a thermophilic bacterial consortium (BCGR-T) mainly composed of two genera, namely, Caldibaci...

Description
Summary:The environmental pollution caused by azo dyes at high temperatures has become an urgent problem. However, little attention has been paid to decolorizing azo dyes by thermophilic consortiums. In this study, a thermophilic bacterial consortium (BCGR-T) mainly composed of two genera, namely, Caldibacillus (70.90%) and Aeribacillus (17.63%) was first enriched, which can decolorize Brilliant Crocein GR (BCGR) at high temperatures (50–75 °C), pH values of 6∼8, dye concentrations (100–400 mg/L) and salinities (1–5%, w/v). The enzyme activity results showed that the azoreductase activity was nearly 8.8 times that of the control (p
