Decolorization of industrial dyes by a Brazilian strain of Pleurotus pulmonarius producing laccase as the sole phenol-oxidizing enzyme

The ability of a Brazilian strain ofPleurotus pulmonarius to decolorize structurally different synthetic dyes (including azo, triphenylmethane, heterocyclic and polymeric dyes) was investigated in solid and submerged cultures. Both were able to decolorize completely or partially 8 of 10 dyes (Amido Black, Congo Red, Trypan Blue, Methyl Green, Remazol Brilliant Blue R, Methyl Violet, Ethyl Violet, Brilliant Cresyl Blue). No decolorization of Methylene Blue and Poly R 478 was observed. Of the four phenol-oxidizing enzymes tested in culture filtrates (lignin peroxidase, manganese peroxidase, aryl alcohol oxidase, laccase),P. pulmonarius produced only laccase. Both laccase activity and dye decolorization were related to glucose and ammonium starvation or to induction by ferulic acid. The decolorizationin vivo was tested using three dyes — Remazol Brilliant Blue R, Trypan Blue and Methyl Green. All of them were completely decolorized by crude extracellular extracts. Decolorization and laccase activity were equally affected by pH and temperature. Laccase can thus be considered to be the major enzyme involved in the ability ofP. pulmonarius to decolorize industrial dyes.     

Decolorizing Reactive Textile Dyes with White‐Rot Fungi by Temporary Immersion Cultivation

The decontamination of effluents from textile industries is problematic due to the fact that textile dyes are resistant to degradation in the environment. Enzymes from white rot fungi, especially laccase, are able to degrade various complex aromatic structures, and are therefore able to decolorize textile dyes. The white‐rot fungi Trametes versicolor and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were immobilized, separately, on both pine wood chips and palm oil fiber, and cultivated in the temporary immersion RITA® (Récipient à Immersion Temporaire Automatique) System, which was adapted to serve as a fungal bioreactor in a series of four experiments to determine optimal conditions for decolorizing the textile dyes Levafix Blue and Remazol Brilliant Red. The maximum rate of decolorization of both dyes occurred within 24 h of incubation, and laccase was detected in the system.     

Azo dyes decolorization under high alkalinity and salinity conditions by Halomonas sp. in batch and packed bed reactor

Biodecolorization and biodegradation of azo dyes are a challenge due to their recalcitrance and the characteristics of textile effluents. This study presents the use of Halomonas sp. in the decolorization of azo dyes Reactive Black 5 (RB5), Remazol Brilliant Violet 5R (RV5), and Reactive Orange 16 (RO16) under high alkalinity and salinity conditions. Firstly, the effect of air supply, pH, salinity and dye concentration was evaluated. Halomonas sp. was able to remove above 84% of all dyes in a wide range of pH (6–11) and salt concentrations (2–10%). The decolorization efficiency of RB5, RV5, and RO16 was found to be ≥ 90% after 24, 13 and 3 h, respectively, at 50 mg L⁻¹ of dyes. The process was monitored by HPLC-DAD, finding a reduction of dyes along the time. Further, Halomonas sp. was immobilized in volcanic rocks and used in a packed bed reactor for 72 days, achieving a removal rate of 3.48, 5.73, and 8.52 mg L⁻¹ h⁻¹, for RB5, RV5 and RO16, respectively, at 11.8 h. The study has confirmed the potential of Halomonas sp. to decolorize azo dyes under high salinity and alkalinity conditions and opened a scope for future research in the treatment of textile effluents.

Biodegradation of Basic Violet 3 by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Candida krusei</Emphasis> isolated from textile wastewater

Basic Violet 3 (BV) belongs to the most important group of synthetic colorants and is used extensively in textile industries. It is considered as xenobiotic compound which is recalcitrant to biodegradation. As Candida krusei could not use BV as sole carbon source, experiments were conducted to study the effect of cosubstrates on decolorization of BV in semi synthetic medium using glucose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, yeast extract, peptone, urea and ammonium sulphate. Maximum decolorization (74%) was observed in media supplemented with sucrose. Use of sugarcane bagasse extract as sole nutrient source showed 100% decolorization of BV within 24 h under optimized condition. UV–visible, FTIR spectral analysis and HPLC analysis confirmed the biodegradation of BV. Six degradation products were isolated and identified. We propose the biodegradation pathway for BV which occurs via stepwise reduction and demethylation process to yield mono-, di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- and hexa-demethylated BV species which was degraded completely. The study of the enzymes responsible for decolorization showed the activities of lignin peroxidase, lacasse, tyrosinase, NADH-DCIP reductase, MG reductase and azoreductase in cells before and after decolorization. A significant increase in activities of NADH-DCIP reductase and laccase was observed in the cells after decolorization. The yeast C. krusei could show the ability to decolorize the textile dye BV using inexpensive source like sugarcane bagasse extract for decolorization.

Decolorization of Victoria blue by the white rot fungus, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Phanerochaete chrysosporium</Emphasis>

Synthetic textile dyes are among the most dangerous chemical pollutants released in industrial wastewater streams. Recognizing the importance of reducing the environmental impact of these dyes, the ability of the white rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium to decolorize various textile dyes was investigated. This fungus decolorized 6 of the 14 structurally diverse dyes with varying efficiency (between 14% and 52%). There was no discernable pattern of decolorization even among dyes of the same chemical class, suggesting that attack on the dyes is relatively non-specific. Among the three dyes which showed >40% decolorization, Victoria Blue B (VB) was chosen for further analysis because the ability of the fungus to decolorize VB was nearly independent over a relatively broad concentration range. Blocking lignin peroxidase (LiP) and manganese peroxidase (MnP) production by the fungus did not substantially affect VB decolorization. Inhibition of laccase production by adding various inhibitors to shaken cultures reduced VB decolorization significantly suggesting a role for laccase in VB decolorization. When sodium azide and aminotriazole were used to inhibit endogenous catalase and cytochrome P-450 oxygenase activities, there was 100% and 70% reduction in VB decolorization, respectively. Adding benzoate to trap hydrogen peroxide-derived hydroxyl radicals resulted in 50% decolorization of VB. Boiling the extracellular fluid (ECF) for 30 min resulted in approximately 50% reduction in VB decolorization. Collectively, these data suggest that laccase, and/or oxygenase/oxidase and a heat-stable non-enzymatic factor, but not Lip and MnP, play a role in VB decolorization by P. chrysosporium.     

Laccase from Trametes hirsuta Grown on Paper Cuttings: Application to Synthetic Dye Decolorization at Different pH Values

The potential of paper cuttings to produce laccase from Trametes hirsuta grown under solid‐state conditions was investigated. In addition, cultures were also grown on barley bran, a support commonly used in solid‐state fermentation (SSF), for comparison. Paper cutting cultures showed a maximum individual laccase activity of 7695 U/L on day 9. In addition, the ability to decolorize two structurally different dyes (Indigo Carmine and Lissamine Green B) by the extracellular liquid from both paper and barley bran cultures at pH values between 2 and 11 was analyzed. Laccase‐containing enzyme preparations from both cultures decolorized the dyes tested at pH values between 4 and 7 and, in addition, the laccase‐containing enzyme preparation from paper cutting cultures was also able to decolorize the dyes tested at alkaline pH values. This is a very interesting and novel result, since no decolorization by fungal laccases has been reported until recently at pH values higher than pH 7.     

Dye decolorization by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trametes hirsuta</Emphasis> immobilized into alginate beads

Summary The present paper studies the production of laccase by Trametes hirsuta immobilized into alginate beads in an airlift bioreactor. In order to enhance laccase production fresh ammonium chloride was added, which led to the production, of high laccase activities (around 1000 U l⁻¹). The bioreactor operated for 40 days without operational problems and the bioparticles maintained their shape throughout fermentation. Dye decolorization was performed at bioreactor scale operating in the batch mode. High decolorization percentages were obtained in a short time (96% for indigo carmine and 69% for phenol red in 24 h), indicating the suitability of this process for application to synthetic dye decolorization. On the other hand, in vitro decolorization of several industrial azo dyes by crude laccase produced in the above bioreactor was also performed. It was found that some of the dyes needed the addition of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole for their decolorization.     

Fixed-bed decolorization of Reactive Blue 172 by Proteus vulgaris NCIM-2027 immobilized on Luffa cylindrica sponge

Proteus vulgaris NCIM-2027 cells immobilized on Luffa cylindrica (Loofa) completely decolorized C.I. Reactive Blue 172 at 37 °C and pH 8.0 under 5-h static incubation with high total organic carbon (TOC) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction. The repeated-batch decolorization experiments also indicate good reusability of the immobilized biocatalyst. Some oxidoreductive enzymes were shown to be involved in the decolorization and degradation process. Loofa immobilized cells were also able to decolorize a mixture of reactive dyes in batch mode (in terms of ADMI value) with significant reduction in TOC and COD. Loofa immobilized cells were also used for continuous decolorization of individual and mixture of reactive dyes in a fixed bed bioreactor.     

Synthetic dye decolorization capacity of white rot fungus Dichomitus squalens

The ability to decolorize eight chemically different synthetic dyes (Orange G, Amaranth, Orange I, Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR), Cu-phthalocyanin, Poly R-478, Malachite Green and Crystal Violet) by the white rot fungus Dichomitus squalens was evaluated on agar plates. The fungus showed high decolorization capacity and was able to decolorize all dyes tested, but not to the same extent. Some of the dyes did not limit the decolorization capacity of the strain tested even at a concentration of 2g/l. The presence of the dyes in solid media reduced the mycelial growth rate of D. squalens; a positive correlation was found between the growth rate and the decolorization ability. Decolorization of Orange G and RBBR was studied also in liquid culture, where both dyes caused an enhancement of ligninolytic enzyme and overall hydrogen peroxide production and a decrease of biomass production. RBBR was removed to a higher extent than Orange G.     

Biodegradation of disperse dye brown 3REL by microbial consortium of Galactomyces geotrichum MTCC 1360 and Bacillus sp. VUS

The consortium-GB (Galactomyces geotrichum MTCC 1360 and Bacillus sp. VUS) exhibited 100% decolorization ability with the dye Brown 3REL within 2 h at shaking condition with optima of pH 7 and at 50°C. However, G. geotrichum MTCC 1360 showed 39% decolorization within 24 h and Bacillus sp. VUS took 5 h for 100% decolorization, when incubated individually. Additional carbon and nitrogen sources like, starch, peptone, and urea were found to enhance decolorization. Induction in lignin peroxidase, tyrosinase, and riboflavin reductase was observed in consortium as that of individual organisms. GCMS identification showed different metabolites formed using consortium (2-(6,8-dichloro-quinazolin-4yloxy)-acetyl-urea and 2-(6,8-dichloro-quinazolin-4yloxy)-acetyl-formamide) and Bacillus sp. VUS (6,8-dichloro-4 methoxy-quinazoline) after 2 h of incubation with Brown 3REL. G. geotrichum MTCC 1360 showed minor modifications in structure of Brown 3REL. Phytotoxicity revealed non toxic nature of metabolites. This consortium-GB was also able to decolorize various industrial dyes.     

Decolorization and detoxication of reactive industrial dyes by immobilized fungi <Emphasis Type="Italic">Trametes pubescens</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pleurotus ostreatus</Emphasis>

Trametes pubescens and Pleurotus ostreatus, immobilized on polyurethane foam cubes in bioreactors, were used to decolorize three industrial and model dyes at concentrations of 200, 1000 and 2000 ppm. Five sequential cycles were run for each dye and fungus. The activity of laccase, Mn-dependent and independent peroxidases, lignin peroxidase, and aryl-alcohol oxidase were daily monitored during the cycles and the toxicity of media containing 1000 and 2000 ppm of each dye was assessed by the Lemna minor (duckweed) ecotoxicity test. Both fungi were able to efficiently decolorize all dyes even at the highest concentration, and the duckweed test showed a significant reduction (p 相似文献   

Decolorization and degradation of reactive azo dyes by fixed bed bioreactors containing immobilized cells of Proteus vulgaris NCIM-2027

Immobilized cells of Proteus vulgaris NCIM 2027 completely decolorized C.I. Reactive Blue 172 (50 mg/L) within 8 h along with a nearly 80% reduction in TOC and COD. The dye degradation efficiency of the immobilized cells was further improved by optimizing the physicochemical conditions, including agitation, temperature, pH, dye concentration, and biomass loading. Microbial toxicity study revealed the non-toxic nature of the degraded products. Repeated-batch decolorization was conducted to evaluate the reusability of the immobilized cells. The immobilized cells were used for continuous dye decolorization in a fixed bed bioreactor under different volumetric flow rates and dye feeding concentrations. In addition, the immobilized cells were applied to decolorize a mixture of seven reactive dyes in batch and continuous modes, resulting in efficient decolorization (in terms of ADMI value) and significant reduction in TOC and COD. This suggests the potential of using immobilized cells to treat dye-containing wastewater.     

Decolorization of simulated textile dye baths by crude laccases from Trametes hirsuta and Cerrena unicolor

In this study crude laccases from the white‐rot fungi Cerrena unicolor and Trametes hirsuta were tested for their ability to decolorize simulated textile dye baths. The dyes used were Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) (100 mg/L), Congo Red (12.5 mg/L), Lanaset Grey (75 mg/L) and Poly R‐478 (50 mg/L). The effect of redox mediators on dye decolorization by laccases was also assessed. C. unicolor laccase was able to decolorize all the dyes tested. It was especially effective towards Congo Red and RBBR with 91 and 80% of color removal in 19.5 h despite the fact that simulated textile dye baths were used. Also Poly R‐478 and Lanaset Grey were partially decolorized (69 and 48%, respectively). C. unicolor laccase did not need any mediators for removing the dyes. However, T. hirsuta laccase was only able to decolorize simulated Congo Red and RBBR dye baths (91 and 45%, respectively) in 19.5 h without mediators. When using mediators the decolorization capability was enhanced substantially, e.g. Poly R‐478 was decolorized by 78% in 25.5 h. On the whole, both laccases showed potential to be used in industrial applications.     

Semicontinuous decolorization of azo dyes by rotating disc contactor immobilized with<Emphasis Type="Italic">Aspergillus sojae</Emphasis> B-10

Aspergillus sojae B-10 was immobilized and used to treat model dye compounds. The model wastewater, containing 10 ppm of azo dyes such as Amaranth, Sudan III, and Congo Red, was treated with cells attached to a rotating disc contactor (RDC). Amaranth was decolorized more easily than were Sudan III and Congo Red. Decolorization of Amaranth began within a day, and the dye was completely decolorized within 5 days of incubation. Both Sudan III and Congo Red were almost completely decolorized after 5 days of incubation. Semicontinuous decolorization of azo by reusing attached mycelia resulted in almost complete decolorization in 20 days. This experiment indicated that decolorization was successfully conducted by removing azo dyes withAspergillus sojae B-10.     

Decolorization of a dye industry effluent by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aspergillus fumigatus</Emphasis> XC6

The strain Aspergillus fumigatus XC6 isolated from mildewing rice straw was evaluated for its ability to decolorize a dye industry effluent. The strain was capable of decolorizing dyes effluent over a pH range 3.0–8.0 with the dyes as sole carbon and nitrogen sources. The optimum pH was 3.0; however, supplemented with either appropriate nitrogen sources (0.2% NH₄Cl or (NH₄)₂SO₄ ) or carbon sources (1.0% sucrose or potato starch), the strain decolorized the effluent completely at the original pH of the dyes effluent. Therefore, A. fumigatus XC6 is an efficient strain for the decolorization of reactive textile dyes effluents, and it might be a practical alternative in dyeing wastewater treatment.     

Decolorization of textile dyes by enzymatic extract and submerged cultures of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Pleurotus sajor-caju</Emphasis>

Pleurotus sajor-caju PS2001 was screened in Petri dish plates to assess the dye-decolorizing ability of industrial textile dyes. P. sajor-caju PS2001 was also cultivated in solid-state fermentation containing sawdust of Pinus sp. and wheat bran to obtain the enzymatic extract, showing laccase and manganese-peroxidase activity, which was used to test the capacity to degrade the textile dyes. Additional tests of decolorization were performed in liquid cultures. Anthraquinone-type textile dyes proved to be substrates for the enzymatic system of P. sajor-caju PS2001. Cultures in Petri dish plates showed that the anthraquinone dye Reactive Blue 220 can act as a redox mediator for the enzymatic reactions involved in the decolorization process, and enables the azo dye degradation. Reactive Blue 220 and Acid Blue 280 were completely decolorized in 30 min and 60 min, respectively, during the tests with precipitated enzymatic extract, while the azo dyes showed resistance to degradation. Additionally, in submerged cultures with dyes, veratryl alcohol oxidases and lignin peroxidase activities were observed. These results suggest that the strain P. sajor-caju PS2001 has great potential for use in the bioremediation technology of recalcitrant pollutant such as textile effluents.     

Induction of a white laccase from the deuteromycete Myrothecium verrucaria NF-05 and its potential in decolorization of dyes

Myrothecium verrucaria NF-05 is a deuteromycete fungus capable of producing a white laccase. The optimal concentration of Cu²⁺ for laccase production by this strain is 0.2 mM (43.23 ± 1.16 U mL^{? 1}). A comprehensive investigation of the induction demonstrated that NF-05 laccase production could be synergistically enhanced by various inducers, including aromatic phenols, amines and recalcitrant dyes, in the presence of 0.2 mM Cu²⁺. Sixteen phenols, fourteen amines and four dyes exhibited significant inductive effects on laccase production. The best inducer was 3, 3’-dimethylbenzidine, which increased laccase production to 258.1 ± 11.1 U mL^{? 1}. These results suggest that M. verrucaria NF-05 is a promising industrial laccase producer. Based on the increased production, purified NF-05 laccase was used to decolorize dyes of various structural types in the presence of six redox mediators. Among the 26 tested dyes, the decolorization rate of six azo dyes, chromotrope 2R, orange G6, Congo red, Ponceau S, amaranth and reactive yellow 135 and two arylmethane dyes, fast green 3 and neutral red, were significantly increased by each of the six mediators. These results demonstrate the potential use of the NF-05 laccase for the decolorization of recalcitrant dyes in dye bleaching and effluent detoxification.
