Study of Textile Dyes Degradation Capacity of Microorganisms (Bacteria and Fungi)

Abstract

The textile sector releases effluents that contain dyes, it is one of the biggest sources of environmental contamination. Synthetic colors are extremely durable and resistant to traditional wastewater treatment techniques, particularly azo dyes. The biodegradation capacity of particular bacteria and fungus in breaking down textile dyes is examined in this study. The effectiveness of microorganisms like Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Aspergillus, and Phanerochaete chrysosporium in decolorizing and degrading dyes was assessed. The study shows that microbial degradation is an economical, efficient, and environmentally beneficial way to remediate wastewater contaminated with dyes. The results show that whereas bacterial strains provide quick decolorization under controlled conditions, fungal strains have higher breakdown efficiency because they produce extracellular enzymes.
