The white rot fungus (WRF) Pleurotus ostreatus produced manganese peroxidase (MnP) and manganese-independent peroxidase (MIP) activities during solid state fermentation of wheat straw, a natural lignocellulosic substrate. Most of the sulfonphthalein (SP) dyes were decolorized by MnP at pH 4.0. The higher Km for meta-cresol purple (40 μM) and lower Km for ortho-cresol red (26 μM) for MnP activities explained the preference for the position of methyl group at ortho than at meta on chromophore. Bromophenol blue decolorizing activity was higher at pH 3.5 and decreased as the concentration of MnII was increased. SP-decolorizing activity was associated not only with MnP but also with MIP. Additional bromine group along with the methyl group on SP chromophores decreases the rate of decolorization. Bromination of sulfonphthalein chromophore makes them the poorer substrate for MnP. This is evident from the higher Km for bromocresol green (117 μM) when compared to bromocresol purple (36 μM) and bromophenol blue (78 μM). The order of preference for the SP dyes as substrate for the MnP-catalyzed decolorizing activity is phenol red > ortho-cresol red > meta-cresol purple > bromophenol red > bromocresol purple > bromophenol blue > bromocresol green and the order of preference for the SP dyes as substrate for the MIP-catalyzed decolorizing activity is bromocresol green > bromophenol blue > bromocresol purple > bromophenol red > meta-cresol purple > ortho-cresol red > phenol red. Inhibition of PR decolorizing activity by NaN3 provided the evidence of decolorizing activity as an oxidative process. 相似文献

Cyanobacterial cultures isolated from sites polluted by industrial textile effluents were screened for their ability to decolorize cyclic azo dyes. Gloeocapsa pleurocapsoides and Phormidium ceylanicum decolorized Acid Red 97 and FF Sky Blue dyes by more than 80% after 26 days. Chroococcus minutus was the only culture which decolorized Amido Black 10B (55%). Chlorophyll a synthesis in all cultures was strongly inhibited by the dyes. Visible spectroscopy and TLC confirmed that color removal was due to degradation of the dyes.Revisions requested 10 November 2004/30 November 2004; Revisions received 16 November 2004/ 7 January 2005 相似文献
Colored dye wastewater presents a formidable task for biological treatment. Depending on how it is generated, wide pH spans and high salt concentrations such as chloride ion often add to the difficulties. Systematic screening for dye decolorizing and/or degrading bioagents from soil and water samples discovered fungi which show dramatic color removal capability (Shen, et al., 1990). One example shows that up to 99% reduction of light absorption at characteristic wavelength of a red dye (200 mg/L) could be obtained within 48 hours. This ability does not appear to be specific toward dyes targeted for action. It clarifies, often beyond detection by naked eyes, a repertoire of colored wastewater samples. These results appeared to be insensitive to wide variations in pH and salt concentration and, they are not limited to one particular fungal species or genus either upon further investigation. This dye adsorption mechanism may be of great significance in uncovering new methods for bio-removal or bio-recovery of dye substances in wastewater. 相似文献
Spentwash is one of the most complex and cumbersome wastewater with very high BOD, COD and other organic and inorganic toxic
constituents. It is dark brown colored and difficult to treat by normal biological process such as activated sludge or anaerobic
lagooning. The color is due to the presence of melanoidins, caramels and other polymers. These compounds have anti oxidant
properties which render them toxic to microorganisms. Spentwash disposal into the environment is hazardous and has a considerable
pollution potential. It affects the aesthetic merit. Its decolorization by physical or chemical methods have been investigated
and were found unsuitable. In the recent past, increasing attention has been directed towards utilizing microbial activity
for decolorization of spentwash. This review reveals various groups of microorganisms which have potential in spentwash decolorization.
The role of enzymes in decolorization and the microbial degradation of individual compounds imparting color to spentwash are
also discussed. 相似文献
Azo compounds constitute the largest and the most diverse group of synthetic dyes and are widely used in a number of industries such as textile, food, cosmetics and paper printing. They are generally recalcitrant to biodegradation due to their xenobiotic nature. However microorganisms, being highly versatile, have developed enzyme systems for the decolorization and mineralization of azo dyes under certain environmental conditions. Several genera of Basidomycetes have been shown to mineralize azo dyes. Reductive cleavage of azo bond, leading to the formation of aromatic amines, is the initial reaction during the bacterial metabolism of azo dyes. Anaerobic/anoxic azo dye decolorization by several mixed and pure bacterial cultures have been reported. Under these conditions, this reaction is non-specific with respect to organisms as well as dyes. Various mechanisms, which include enzymatic as well as low molecular weight redox mediators, have been proposed for this non-specific reductive cleavage. Only few aerobic bacterial strains that can utilize azo dyes as growth substrates have been isolated. These organisms generally have a narrow substrate range. Degradation of aromatic amines depends on their chemical structure and the conditions. It is now known that simple aromatic amines can be mineralized under methanogenic conditions. Sulfonated aromatic amines, on the other hand, are resistant and require specialized aerobic microbial consortia for their mineralization. This review is focused on the bacterial decolorization of azo dyes and mineralization of aromatic amines, as well as the application of these processes for the treatment of azo-dye-containing wastewaters. 相似文献
Reaction rates were measured for the low pH-induced Cu ligand modification of azurins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Alcaligenes faecalis. Loss of the intense absorption band at 625 nm obeyed a rate law: where Az is the concentration of azurin in its native oxidized form possessing the 625 nm band. For Pseudomonas aeruginosa at 25°C, n = 1 and k = 4.0 × 10-2 sec-1 M-1 in citrate buffer but 1.2 × 10-2 sec-1 M-1 in phosphate buffer. For Alcaligenes faecalis, n = 3 and k = 1.5 × 104 sec-1 M-3 in citrate and 2.6 × 103 sec-1 M-3 in phosphate. In equilibrium experiments on Alcaligenes faecalis azurin in citrate buffer, the pH-dependent change to the low pH form exhibited an apparent transition pK of 3.1. The form of the rate law implies a mechanistic scheme that contains fast equilibrium protonation steps prior to a rate limiting ligand rearrangement. 相似文献
A bacterium identified as Proteus mirabilis was isolated from acclimated sludge from a dyeing wastewater treatment plant. This strain rapidly decolorized a deep red
azo dye solution (RED RBN). Features of the decolorizing process related to biodegradation and biosorption were also studied.
Although P. mirabilis displayed good growth in shake culture, color removal was best in anoxic static cultures. For color removal, the optimal
pH and temperature were 6.5–7.5 and 30–35°C, respectively. The organism exhibited a remarkable color removal capability, even
at a high concentration of azo dye. More than 95% of azo dye was reduced within 20 h at a dye concentration of 1.0 g L−1. Decolorization appears to proceed primarily by enzymatic reduction associated with a minor portion, 13–17%, of biosorption
to inactivated microbial cells.
