A Review on Bacterial Degradation of Textile Dyes

ABSTRACT A variety of synthetic dyestuffs were released from the textile industry and made a threat to environmental safety. Azo dyes account for the majority of all dyestuffs, produced because they are extensively used in the textile, paper, food, leather, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Existing effluent treatment procedures are unable to remove various dyes completely from effluents because of their color fastness, stability and resistance to degradation. Bacterial decolorization and degradation of dyes under certain environmental conditions. The method of treatment, as these are inexpensive, eco-friendly and can be applied to wide range of such dyes. This review mainly focuses on the different of bacterial decolorization processes and find a solution to decolorization of dyes and dye effluents
