撕裂蜡孔菌在开放体系中对甲基橙染料的静态脱色研究

为了评价撕裂蜡孔菌处理偶氮染料的应用潜力,用性能稳定的甲基橙染料为材料,采用批次试验在开放性体系中研究了染料初始浓度、菌丝生物量、温度、pH等因素对该菌脱色能力的影响,运用菌丝体反接、染液光谱扫描、菌丝体显微观察等方法探讨了菌丝体脱色的可能机制,利用植物萌发试验进行了染料和脱色后溶液的毒性测试。结果表明,撕裂蜡孔菌在开放的静止体系中能够对甲基橙高效脱色,其最适脱色温度为35℃,最佳脱色pH值在6左右。菌丝对甲基橙的脱色表现在吸附和产酶降解两个方面,脱色过程中染料对菌丝体本身的影响较少。植物毒性分析显示撕裂蜡孔菌脱色48h后的产物对植物的毒性比甲基橙本身更强,若要彻底降解可能需要较长时间。本研究可为染料脱色工艺提供新的菌种。     

Reduction of azo dyes by intestinal anaerobes.

Reduction of seven azo dyes (amaranth, Ponceau SX, Allura Red, Sunset Yellow, tartrazine, Orange II, and methyl orange) was carried out by cell suspensions of predominant intestinal anaerobes. It was optimal at pH 7.4 in 0.4 M phosphate buffer and inhibited by glucose. Flavin mononucleotide caused a marked enhancement of azo reduction by Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. Other electron carriers, e.g., methyl viologen, benzyl viologen, phenosafranin, neutral red, crystal violet, flavin adenine dinucleotide, menadione, and Janus Green B can replace flavin mononucleotide. These data suggest that an extracellular shuttle is required for azo reduction.

Enhanced decolorization of sulfonated azo dye methyl orange by single and mixed bacterial strains AK1, AK2 and VKY1

Abstract

Methyl orange, a sulfonated azo dye having various industrial applications was decolorized by three bacteria Bacillus sp. strain AK1, Lysinibacillus sp. strain AK2 and Kerstersia sp. strain VKY1. The effect of various factors such as dye concentration, pH, temperature and NaCl concentration on decolorization was investigated. At 200?mg/L methyl orange concentration, the strains AK1, AK2 and VKY1 exhibited maximum decolorizing potential of 93, 95 and 96%, respectively, at temperature 35?°C and pH 7.0 within 18?h of incubation. These strains decolorized the dye over a wide range of pH (5–10), temperature (15–55?°C), and NaCl concentration (5–20?g/L). Further, these strains decolorize up to 800?mg/L concentrations of methyl orange within 24?h. The dye decolorization efficiency was further increased by using different consortia of these three strains which could decolorize the dye completely within 12?h of incubation. The cell-free extracts of the strains AK1, AK2 and VKY1 grown on methyl orange exhibited the azoreductase activity of 0.4794, 1.56 and 1.01?µM/min/mg protein, respectively. HPLC and FTIR analysis of the dye decolorized sample indicated the formation of 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid and N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine as breakdown products of azo bond. The high decolorization potential of these bacterial strains individually and in consortia has potential application in remediation of dye effluent.     

Microbial fuel cell with an azo-dye-feeding cathode

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were constructed using azo dyes as the cathode oxidants to accept the electrons produced from the respiration of Klebsiella pneumoniae strain L17 in the anode. Experimental results showed that a methyl orange (MO)-feeding MFC produced a comparable performance against that of an air-based one at pH 3.0 and that azo dyes including MO, Orange I, and Orange II could be successfully degraded in such cathodes. The reaction rate constant (k) of azo dye reduction was positively correlated with the power output which was highly dependent on the catholyte pH and the dye molecular structure. When pH was varied from 3.0 to 9.0, the k value in relation to MO degradation decreased from 0.298 to 0.016 μmol min⁻¹, and the maximum power density decreased from 34.77 to 1.51 mW m⁻². The performances of the MFC fed with different azo dyes can be ranked from good to poor as MO > Orange I > Orange II. Furthermore, the cyclic voltammograms of azo dyes disclosed that the pH and the dye structure determined their redox potentials. A higher redox potential corresponded to a higher reaction rate.     

Mutagenicity of selected sulfonated azo dyes in the Salmonella/microsome assay: use of aerobic and anaerobic activation procedures

A selection of 16 sulfonated azo dyes of both the monoazo type and diazo dyes based on benzidine, o-tolidine and o-dianisidine were assayed for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 employing both aerobic and anaerobic preincubation procedures. 3 food dyes, FD & C Red No. 40 and Yellows No. 5 and No. 6 were non-mutagenic in all tests. 5 dyes were mutagenic with aerobic treatment (trypan blue, Pontacyl Sky Blue 4BX, Congo Red, Eriochrome Blue Black B, dimethylaminoazobenzene) and 6 were mutagenic aerobically with riboflavin and cofactors (Deltapurpurin, trypan blue, Pontacyl Sky Blue 4BX, Congo Red, methyl orange, Ponceau 3R). Anaerobic preincubation involving enzymatic reduction of the dyes led to a different pattern of mutagenicity, with trypan blue giving much enhanced mutagenicity; Eriochrome Blue Black B, Pontacyl Sky Blue 4BX, Deltapurpurin and Congo Red exhibiting similar activity to aerobic preincubation; and methyl orange and Ponceau 3R yielding no mutagenicity. The results are interpreted with respect to an hypothesis involving partial reduction of the azo bond under differing degrees of aerobiosis via azo-anion radicals and hydrazo intermediates.

Molecular dynamics study of biodegradation of azo dyes via their interactions with AzrC azoreductase

Azo dyes are one of the most important class of dyes, which have been widely used in industries. Because of the environmental pollution of azo dyes, many studies have been performed to study their biodegradation using bacterial systems. In present work, the AzrC of mesophilic gram-positive Bacillus sp. B29 has been considered to study its interaction with five common azo dyes (orange G, acid red 88, Sudan I, orange I, and methyl red). The molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to study the interaction between AzrC and azo dyes. The trajectory was confirmed using root mean square deviation and the root mean square fluctuation analyses. Then, the hydrogen bond and alanine scanning analyses were performed to reveal active site residues. Phe105 (A), Phe125 (B), Phe172 (B), and Pro132 (B) have been found as the most important hydrophobic residues whereas Asn104 (A), Tyr127 (B), and Asn187 (A) have key role in making hydrogen bond. The results of molecular mechanics Poisson–Boltzmann surface area and molecular mechanics generalized Born surface area calculations proved that the hydrophobic azo dyes like Acid red 88 binds more tightly to the AzrC protein. The calculated data suggested MR A 121 (B) I as a potential candidate for improving the AzrC–MR interactions.

Anaerobic biodecolorization mechanism of methyl orange by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1

In this work, we investigated the anaerobic decolorization of methyl orange (MO), a typical azo dye, by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, which can use various organic and inorganic substances as its electron acceptor in natural and engineered environments. S. oneidensis MR-1 was found to be able to obtain energy for growth through anaerobic respiration accompanied with dissimilatory azo-reduction of MO. Chemical analysis shows that MO reduction occurred via the cleavage of azo bond. Block of Mtr respiratory pathway, a transmembrane electron transport chain, resulted in a reduction of decolorization rate by 80%, compared to the wild type. Knockout of cymA resulted in a substantial loss of its azo-reduction ability, indicating that CymA is a key c-type cytochrome in the electron transfer chain to MO. Thus, the MtrA-MtrB-MtrC respiratory pathway is proposed to be mainly responsible for the anaerobic decolorization of azo dyes such as MO by S. oneidensis.     

Decolorization of textile azo dye and Congo red by an isolated strain of the dissimilatory manganese-reducing bacterium Shewanella xiamenensis BC01

Shewanella xiamenensis BC01 (SXM) was isolated from sediment collected off Xiamen, China and was identified based on the phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA sequences and the gyrB gene. This strain showed high activity in the decolorization of textile azo dyes, especially methyl orange, reactive red 198, and recalcitrant dye Congo red, decolorizing at rates of 96.2, 93.0, and 87.5 %, respectively. SXM had the best performance for the specific decolorization rate (SDR) of azo dyes compared to Proteus hauseri ZMd44 and Aeromonas hydrophila NIU01 strains and had an SDR similar to Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 in Congo red decolorization. Luria-Bertani medium was the optimal culture medium for SXM, as it reached a density of 4.69 g-DCW L^?1 at 16 h. A mediator (manganese) significantly enhanced the biodegradation and flocculation of Congo red. Further analysis with UV–VIS, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, and Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry demonstrated that Congo red was cleaved at the azo bond, producing 4,4′-diamino-1,1′-biphenyl and 1,2′-diamino naphthalene 4-sulfonic acid. Finally, SEM results revealed that nanowires exist between the bacteria, indicating that SXM degradation of the azo dyes was coupled with electron transfer through the nanowires. The purpose of this work is to explore the utilization of a novel, dissimilatory manganese-reducing bacterium in the treatment of wastewater containing azo dyes.     

黑磷纳米片光催化甲基橙降解机理

偶氮废水大量排放到环境中会对生态系统和人类健康造成严重威胁,发展偶氮染料废水的高效处理技术具有实际意义。光催化法由于工艺简单、处理彻底等优点具有应用前景。本研究利用液相剥离法制备黑磷纳米片(LBP),以甲基橙(MO)为例,考察LBP对偶氮染料的光催化能力;利用淬灭及荧光探针试验判断体系中参与反应的主要瞬态物种;结合液相色谱-质谱的产物鉴定结果,阐明光催化降解机理。结果表明: MO在酸性(pH=3.0)和碱性(pH=11.0)条件下的降解速率(k_obs)高于中性条件下(pH=7.0)。LBP光照下产生羟基自由基(·OH)进攻偶氮键使双键断裂生成中间产物,后者被·OH继续氧化,生成主要降解产物N,N-二甲基-4-(2-对苯甲基肼)苯胺、2-二甲胺基-5-((4-(二甲胺基)苯基)二氮基)苯酚和N,N-二甲基-4-硝基苯胺。     

Experimental tests of charge conservation in macromolecular interactions

A combination of equilibrium dialysis and ultrafiltration has been used to demonstrate the conservation of charge in the interaction between bovine serum albumin and methyl orange in Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.4, I = 0.05 M; and also in the dimerization of alpha-chymotrypsin in acetate/chloride buffer, pH 3.9, I = 0.11 M, containing various concentrations of indole (0-10 mM) in order to displace the equilibrium position towards monomer. In the former study the magnitude of the negative charge on the albumin was shown to increase linearly with the number of molecules of methyl orange bound to the protein, the observed slope (0.96 +/- 0.08) of this relationship being in excellent agreement with that predicted on the basis of charge conservation for attachment of the univalent, negatively charged methyl orange ligand. In the study of alpha-chymotrypsin, the net charge (expressed per monomeric enzyme unit) was +10 in solutions in which the mole fraction of monomer varied between 0.47 and 0.88, the extent of this range having been established by means of constituent association equilibrium constants obtained from sedimentation equilibrium studies.     

Combination of biosorption and photodegradation to remove methyl orange from aqueous solutions

In this study, metal ion‐modified biomass of waste beer yeast was prepared to improve its adsorption capacity for an anionic dye: methyl orange. The adsorption capacities of Fe³⁺‐, Mg²⁺‐, Ca²⁺,‐ and Na⁺‐modified biomass preparations for methyl orange were 90.8, 51.3, 23.0, and 20.6 mg/g, which were 30, 17, 8, and 7 times that of the unmodified biomass, respectively. Adsorption isotherm experiments showed that the Freundlich model gave better fits than the Langmuir model for methyl orange adsorption on Fe³⁺‐, Mg²⁺‐, Ca²⁺‐modified and unmodified biomass, whereas on Na⁺‐modified biomass the Langmuir model gave better fits. The sorption and desorption kinetics of methyl orange on Fe³⁺‐ and Mg²⁺‐modified biomass both fitted well to the pseudo‐second‐order kinetic models, with R≥0.998, and the desorption processes in NaOH solution (pH 12) were very fast in attaining equilibrium, i.e. within 15 min. In order to avoid secondary pollution, the eluent containing the desorbed methyl orange was treated with a photocatalyst: P25. After that, the eluent could be reused, and thus saving a large volume of eluent.     

Decolorization of Fast red by metabolizing cells of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Oenococcus oeni</Emphasis> ML34

Three different azo dyes such as Fast red, metanil yellow and Fast orange were examined for their decolorization by O. oeni ML34. Fast red (FR) was decolorized by 68%, whereas the other dyes were removed by only about 30%. The effects of glucose addition, substrate (dye) concentration and environmental factors (temperature, pH) on decolorization were investigated by two-level factorial design. The statistical analyses revealed that glucose specifically increases the extent of FR decolorization. A glucose level of 5 g/l was the optimum concentration for removal of, FR reaching a decolorization percentage of up to 93%.     

Electron transfer via the non-Mtr respiratory pathway from Shewanella putrefaciens CN-32 for methyl orange bioreduction

Exoelectrogens play the core roles in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) because of their unique extracellular electron transfer capacity to different electron acceptors. Microbial reduction of azo dyes by exoelectrogens under anaerobic conditions has received great attention because of its eco-friendliness, low cost, and unique extracellular reduction ability. In this work, we unexpectedly found that Shewanella putrefaciens CN-32 adopted a distinctive electron transfer mechanism for bioreduction of MO (methyl orange) compared to the other exoelectrogens. MO reduction by S. putrefaciens CN-32 occurred through mechanisms that were not dependent on the known azoreductase and the Mtr (metal-reducing) respiratory pathway. Some anaerobic regulators (e.g., Fur and EtrA) and periplasmic c-type cytochromes (Sputcn32_2333) might involve in MO reduction by S. putrefaciens CN-32. The major reduction products were 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid (4-ABA) and N, N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) and the initial cell density in the reduction system affected MO reduction kinetics by S. putrefaciens CN-32. Moreover, S. putrefaciens CN-32 could utilize multiple mediators such as flavins or anthraquinone-2,6-sodium disulfonate (AQDS) to accelerate MO reduction. Our findings provide a new perspective on the reduction mechanisms of azo dyes by exoelectrogens and might facilitate more efficient utilization of them in BESs for treatments of azo dyes-polluted industrial effluents.     

Brevibacillus laterosporus MTCC 2298: a potential azo dye degrader

Aims:  To evaluate the potential of Brevibacillus laterosporus MTCC 2298 for the decolourization of different textile azo dyes including methyl red, mechanism of biotransformation and the toxicity of products.
Methods and Results:  Brevibacillus laterosporus showed decolourization of thirteen different azo dyes including methyl red. Decolourization of methyl red was faster (93% within 12 h) under static condition at the concentration 0·2 g l⁻¹. Induction in the activities of lignin peroxidase, laccase, aminopyrine N-demethylase, NADH-DCIP reductase and malachite green reductase was observed in the cells obtained after decolourization. Fourier transform infra-red spectral analysis of products indicated conversion of methyl red into secondary aryl amines and nitrosamines, which further transformed into the aromatic nitro compounds. Gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy analysis suggested conversion of methyl red into high molecular weight complex derivatives. The heterocyclic substituted aryl amine ( m / z 281), p -(N,N di formyl)-substituted para -di amino benzene derivative ( m / z 355) and p -di-amino benzene derivative ( m / z 282) are the mainly elected biotransformation products. Microbial and phytotoxicity studies suggested nontoxic nature of the biotransformation products.
Conclusions:  Brevibacillus laterosporus has potential for the decolourization of different textile azo dyes.
Significance and Impact of the Study:  Brevibacillus laterosporus decolourized different azo dyes including methyl red and can be utilized for textile dye decolourization.

Decolourization and Detoxification of Methyl Red by Aerobic Bacteria from A Wastewater Treatment Plant

Bacterial cultures from a wastewater treatment plant degraded a toxic azo dye (methyl red) by decolourization. Complete decolourization using a mixed-culture was achieved at pH 6, 30 °C within 6 h at 5 mg/l methyl red concentration, and 16 h at 20—30 mg/l. Four bacterial species were isolated that were capable of growth on methyl red as the sole carbon source, and two were identified, namely Vibrio logei and Pseudomonas nitroreducens. The Vibrio species showed the highest methyl red degradation activity at the optimum conditions of pH 6--7, and 30—35 °C. Analysis by NMR showed that previously reported degradation products 2-aminobenzoic acid and N,N-dimethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine were not observed. The decolourized dye was not toxic to a monkey kidney cell line (COS-7) at a concentration of 250 μM. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.
