Synthetic dyes are extensively used in textile, dyeing, paper printing, colour photography, food, cosmetics and other industries. Approximately 10 000 different dyes and pigments are used industrially and over 0.7 million tons of synthetic dyes are produced annually, worldwide 2 . Explosion of population coupled with industrial revolution results in pollution of water, air and soil. The discharge of pollutants from various industries poses a threat to the biodi- versity of the earth. The textile finish- ing generates a large amount of dyes containing wastewater from dyeing and subsequent steps that forms one of the largest contributions to water pollution 3 . The traditional textile finishing industry consumes about 100 litres of water to process about 1 kg of textile material. The new closed-loop technologies such as the reuse of microbially or enzymati- cally treatment of dyeing effluents could help in reducing this enormous amount of water consumption 4 . It was already reported that 10%–15% of dyes are lost in the effluent during the dyeing process 5 . Azo dyes have been used increasingly in industries because of their ease and cost effec- tiveness in synthesis compared to natural dyes. However, most azo dyes are toxic, carcinogenic and muta- genic 6 . Azo bonds present in azo dyes are resistant to breakdown, with the potential for the persistence and accumulation of high levels of dye in the environment 7 . These dyes can- not be easily degraded, while some are toxic to higher animals 8 . Azo dyes are very stable in acidic and alkaline conditions and are resistant to tem- perature and light. However, they can be degraded by bacteria under aero- bic and anaerobic conditions 9 . Azo dyes are environment pollutants 10 and they contribute to the muta- genic activity of ground and surface water that are polluted by textile effluents 11,12 . The complex aromatic substituted structures make conju- gated systems and are responsible for intense colour and high water solubility 13 . Their discharge in to surface water also leads to aesthetic problems, obstructing light penetra- tion and oxygen transfer in to water bodies 14,15 . Several physicochemical techniques have been proposed for treatment of coloured textile efflu- ents. These include adsorption on different materials, oxidation and precipitation by Fenton’s reagent, bleaching with chloride or ozone, photo degradation or membrane filtration 16 . The economic and safe removal of the polluting dyes is still an important issue. Because all these physicochemical methods are very expansive and result in the produc- tion of large amount of sludge, they create the secondary level of land pollution. In this situation biore- mediation is becoming important, because it is cost–effective, environ- mentally friendly and produces less sludge 17 . Therefore, in such situa- tions, biological treatment may be a real hope. These methods have the advantages of being environ- ment friendly. Microorganisms have developed enzyme systems for the decolourisation and mineralisation of azo dyes under certain environ- mental conditions 18–20 . So, this study was designed to isolate efficient azo dye decolourising bacterial strains from the textile effluents. Since the Abstract Introduction Azo dyes are released into waste- water streams without any pre- treatment and pollute water and soil environments. To prevent contami- nation of our vulnerable resources, removal of these dye pollutants is of great importance. For this purpose, wastewater samples were collected from dye-contaminated sites of Ankleshwar, Gujarat, India. The aim of this study is to discuss a selection of bacterial strains efficient in decol- ourisation of Remazol Black-B. Materials and methods About 50 bacterial isolates were iso- lated through enrichment and then tested for their potential to remove Remazol Black-B azo dye in liquid medium. Three bacterial isolates capableofdegradingRemazolBlack-B azo dye efficiently were screened through experimentation on modi- fied mineral salt medium. Results Isolate ETL-A was able to completely remove the Remazol Black-B dye from the liquid medium in 18 hours. Furthermore, the isolate showed the best performance at the dye concen- tration of 100 mg L –1 medium (pH 7) and at temperature 35°C. Similarly, yeast extract proved to be the best carbon source for decolourisation purposes. Conclusion The results imply that the isolate ETL-A could be used for the removal of the reactive dyes from textile effluents.
