TL;DR: Six bacterial strains with the capability of degrading textile dyes were isolated from sludge samples and mud lakes and Aeromonas hydrophila was selected and identified because it exhibited the greatest color removal from various dyes.
726 citations
TL;DR: Experimental data suggest that the adsorption of direct dyes onto CNTs involved intraparticle diffusion, but that was not the only rate-controlling step, and the values of DeltaH(0), DeltaG(0) and E all indicate that the adhesion of Direct Yellow 86 and DR224 was a physisorption process.
323 citations
TL;DR: Examination of the mechanism of the decolorization process by cell beads indicated that it proceeded primarily by biologicalDecolorization associated with partial adsorption of the dye onto the entrapped cells and gel matrix.
240 citations
TL;DR: Systematic strategies were applied to improve rhamnolipid (RL) production with a newly isolated indigenous strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa EM1 originating from an oil-contaminated site located in southern Taiwan to optimize the composition of fermentation medium.
179 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR) and amino acid identification to identify the structure of polyglutamic acid (PGA) of DYU500.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an overview of bacterial decolorization/degradation of azo dyes and emphasize the application of these processes for the treatment of the azo dye-containing wastewaters.
Abstract: A variety of synthetic dyestuffs released by the textile industry pose 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 recalcitrant azo dyes completely from effluents because of their color fastness, stability and resistance to degradation. Bacterial decolorization and degradation of azo dyes under certain environmental conditions has gained momentum as a 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 mechanisms of decolorization and discusses the effect of various physicochemical parameters on the dye removal efficiency of different bacteria. The enzymatic mechanisms involved in the bacterial degradation of azo dyes, the identification of metabolites by using various analytical techniques, and the nature of their toxicity has been investigated. This review provides an overview of bacterial decolorization/degradation of azo dyes and emphasizes the application of these processes for the treatment of azo dye-containing wastewaters.

TL;DR: The first synthetic dye compound was aniline purple as mentioned in this paper, which was synthesized in 1856 and was the first compound to be synthesized from natural colorants, and it was used extensively in textile, leather tanning, paper production, food technology, agriculture, light harvesting array, coloring and pharmaceuticals.

TL;DR: It is evident from the literature that CNT based nanosorbents have shown good potential for the removal of dyes from aqueous solution, however, still more research work should be focused on the development of cost effective, higher efficient and environmental friendly CNTbased nanOSorbents for their commercial applications.
1,028 citations
TL;DR: This review attempts to compile relevant knowledge about the adsorption activities of porous carbon, carbon nanotubes and fullerene related to various organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous solutions.
Abstract: The quality of water is continuously deteriorating due to its increasing toxic threat to humans and the environment. It is imperative to perform treatment of wastewater in order to remove pollutants and to get good quality water. Carbon materials like porous carbon, carbon nanotubes and fullerene have been extensively used for advanced treatment of wastewaters. In recent years, carbon nanomaterials have become promising adsorbents for water treatment. This review attempts to compile relevant knowledge about the adsorption activities of porous carbon, carbon nanotubes and fullerene related to various organic and inorganic pollutants from aqueous solutions. A detailed description of the preparation and treatment methods of porous carbon, carbon nanotubes and fullerene along with relevant applications and regeneration is also included.
