Abstract
Bioremediation exploiting a variety of microorganisms for the degradation of recalcitrant organics appears as an eco-friendly solution to the problem of environmental pollution. Microbes have been talented by nature with the ability of degrading a wide variety of environmental pollutants competently with minimum amount of sludge production. In this work, we have investigated the decolorization and degradation of a mixture of triphenylmethane dyes, Malachite green, Crystal Violet and Basic Fuchsin by a bacterial consortium separately and in a mixed solution. Decolorization studies were carried out with single dye solution as well as mix dye solution with respect to pH, temperature and initial dye concentration. Decolorized products were analyzed with UV-visible spectroscopy and Thin Layer Chromatography, which indicates the process of decolorization in this case, is biodegradation. The decolorized products were also checked for level of COD, wherefrom it was found that the decolorized products were completely safe for the environment up to a concentration of 100 mg/L.
