Hollow Palladium Nanoparticles Facilitated Biodegradation of an Azo Dye by Electrically Active Biofilms.

ABSTRACT: Dye wastewater severely threatens the environment due to its hazardous and toxic effects. Although many methods are available to degrade dyes, most of them are far from satisfactory. The proposed research provides a green and sustainable approach to degrade an azo dye, methyl orange, by electrically active biofilms (EABs) in the presence of solid and hollow palladium (Pd) nanoparticles. The EABs acted as the electron generator while nanoparticles functioned as the electron carrier agents to enhance degradation rate of the dye by breaking the kinetic barrier. The hollow Pd nanoparticles showed better performance than the solid Pd nanoparticles on the dye degradation, possibly due to high specific surface area and cage effect. The hollow cavities provided by the nanoparticles acted as the reaction centers for the dye degradation.

Biodecolorization and Biodegradation of Azo Dye Reactive Orange-16 by Marine Nocardiopsis sp.

Project description:BackgroundAzo dyes are xenobiotic compounds that have bioaccumulated in the environment due to escalated industrial development. These are hazardous in nature, possessing carcinogenic and mutagenic effects on human beings.ObjectivesThe perspective of the present study was to isolate and to determine azo dye (Reactive Orange-16) degrading potential of marine actinobacteria isolated from sediment samples of Port Blair, India.Material and methodsActinobacteria with dye decolorization potential were isolated from sea sediment samples. The actinobacterial isolate with the highest dye decolorizing percentage was identified with the help of phenotypic, biochemical and molecular studies. The different physico-chemical parameters for dye decolorization were also optimized. The nature of decolorization by the potent isolate was determined with the help of High Performance Liquid chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier Transformed Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Further the toxicity of RO-16 decolorized products was investigated with the help of phytotoxcity assay.ResultsOut of six actinobacterial isolates, VITVAMB 1 possessed the most efficient RO-16 decolorization property. It decolorized 85.6% of RO-16 (250 mg L-1) within 24hrs. Isolate VITVAMB 1 was identified to be Nocardiopsis sp. Maximum dye decolorization occurred at pH 8, temperature 35°C, 3% salt concentration and a dye concentration of 50 mg L-1.ConclusionsThe nature of decolorization by Nocardiopsis sp. was biodegradation. Additionally, the degraded dye metabolites were found to be less toxic than pure dye. The high decolorization potential of VITVAMB 1 and the low toxicity of its degradation products make it a prospective dye removal system. The marine origin of VITVAMB 1 also makes it an attractive source for novel azo dye reducing enzymes.

Decolorization and biodegradation of textile di-azo dye Acid Blue 113 by Pseudomonas stutzeri AK6.

Project description:Textile industry is one of the anthropogenic activities that consume a large amount of water and pollute water bodies. It uses a massive amount of dyes, which is one of the main constituents of polluting textile effluent. In the present research, biodegradation of Acid Blue 113 dye, a commonly used textile di-azo dye, has been studied exploiting Pseudomonas stutzeri, strain AK6. The dye (300 ppm) was decolorized up to 86.2% within 96 h. The metabolites of Acid Blue 113 obtained after biodegradation were identified by various analytical techniques viz. HPLC (high-performance liquid chromatography) and GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Genome analysis of isolate AK6 using IMG/M (Integrated Microbial Genomes and Microbiomes) system supported the role of azoreductase and laccase for the decolorization and degradation of azo dye. The ability of P. stutzeri AK6 to tolerate high amount of dye makes it a potential candidate for bioremediation and pre-processing to remove dyes from textile effluents.

Effects of azo dye on simultaneous biological removal of azo dye and nutrients in wastewater.

Project description:The potential disrupting effects of Azo dye on wastewater nutrients removal deserved more analysis. In this study, 15 days exposure experiments were conducted with alizarin yellow R (AYR) as a model dye to determine whether the dye caused adverse effects on biological removal of both the dye and nutrients in acclimated anaerobic-aerobic-anoxic sequencing batch reactors. The results showed that the AYR removal efficiency was, respectively, 85.7% and 66.8% at AYR concentrations of 50 and 200 mg l-1, while higher AYR inlet (400 mg l-1) might inactivate sludge. Lower removal of AYR at 200 mg l-1 of AYR was due to the insufficient support of electron donors in the anaerobic process. However, the decolorized by-products p-phenylenediamine and 5-aminosalicylic were completely decomposed in the following aerobic stage at both 50 and 200 mg l-1 of AYR concentrations. Compared with the absence of AYR, the presence of 200 mg l-1 of AYR decreased the total nitrogen removal efficiency from 82.4 to 41.1%, and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency initially decreased to 68.1% and then returned to around 83.4% in the long-term exposure time. It was also found that the inhibition of AYR, nitrogen and COD removal induced by a higher concentration of AYR was due to the increased intracellular reactive oxygen species production, which caused the rise of oxidation-reduction potential value and decreased ammonia monooxygenase and nitrite oxidoreductase activities.

Enhanced Bioremediation Potential of Shewanella decolorationis RNA Polymerase Mutants and Evidence for Novel Azo Dye Biodegradation Pathways.

Project description:Bioremediation has been considered as a promising method for recovering chemical polluted environments. Here Shewanella decolorationis strain Ni1-3 showed versatile abilities in bioremediation. To improve the bioremediation activity, RNA polymerase (RNAP) mutations of strain Ni1-3 were screened. Eleven mutants were obtained, of which mutant #40 showed enhanced Amaranth (AMR) degradation capacity, while mutant #21 showed defected capacity in AMR degradation but greatly enhanced capacity in cathodic metal leaching which is three to four times faster than that of the wild-type (WT) strain Ni1-3, suggesting that different pathways were involved in these two processes. Transcriptional profiling and gene co-expression networks between the mutants (i.e., #40 and #22) and the WT strain disclosed that the non-CymA-Mtr but cytochrome b- and flavin-oxidoreductase-dominated azo dye degradation pathways existed in S. decolorationis, which involved key proteins TorC, TorA, YceJ, YceI, Sye4, etc. Furthermore, the involvement of TorA was verified by trimethylamine N-oxide reduction and molybdenum enzyme inhibitory experiments. This study clearly demonstrates that RNAP mutations are effective to screen active microbial candidates in bioremediation. Meanwhile, by clarifying the novel gene co-expression network of extracellular electron transfer pathways, this study provides new insights in azo dye degradation and broadens the application of Shewanella spp. in bioremediation as well.

Polymeric Nanoparticles Active against Dual-Species Bacterial Biofilms.

Project description:Biofilm infections are a global public health threat, necessitating new treatment strategies. Biofilm formation also contributes to the development and spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacterial strains. Biofilm-associated chronic infections typically involve colonization by more than one bacterial species. The co-existence of multiple species of bacteria in biofilms exacerbates therapeutic challenges and can render traditional antibiotics ineffective. Polymeric nanoparticles offer alternative antimicrobial approaches to antibiotics, owing to their tunable physico-chemical properties. Here, we report the efficacy of poly(oxanorborneneimide) (PONI)-based antimicrobial polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) against multi-species bacterial biofilms. PNPs showed good dual-species biofilm penetration profiles as confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity was observed, with reduction in both bacterial viability and overall biofilm mass. Further, PNPs displayed minimal fibroblast toxicity and high antimicrobial activity in an in vitro co-culture model comprising fibroblast cells and dual-species biofilms of Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This study highlights a potential clinical application of the presented polymeric platform.

Solvent- and Light-Sensitive AIEE-Active Azo Dye: From Spherical to 1D and 2D Assemblies.

Project description:Fluorescent molecular assembly systems provide an exciting platform for creating stimuli-responsive nano- and microstructured materials with optical, electronic, and sensing functions. To understand the relationship between (i) the plausible molecular structures preferentially adopted depending on the solvent polarity (such as N,N-dimethylformamide [DMF], tetrahydrofuran [THF], and toluene), (ii) the resulting spectroscopic features, and (iii) self-assembled nano-, micro-, and macrostructures, we chose a sterically crowded triangular azo dye (3Bu) composed of a polar molecular core and three peripheral biphenyl wings. The chromophore changed the solution color from yellow to pink-red depending on the solvent polarity. In a yellow DMF solution, a considerable amount of the twisted azo form could be kept stable with the help of favorable intermolecular interactions with the solvent molecules. By varying the concentration of the DMF solution, the morphology of self-assembled structures was transformed from nanoparticles to micrometer-sized one-dimensional (1D) structures such as sticks and fibers. In a pink-red toluene solution, the periphery of the central ring became more planar. The resulting significant amount of the keto-hydrazone tautomer grew into micro- and millimeter-sized 1D structures. Interestingly, when THF-H2O (1:1) mixtures were stored at a low temperature, elongated fibers were stacked sideways and eventually developed into anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) sheets. Notably, subsequent exposure of visible-light-irradiated sphere samples to solvent vapor resulted in reversible fluorescence off↔on switching accompanied by morphological restoration. These findings suggest that rational selection of organic dyes, solvents, and light is important for developing reusable fluorescent materials.

Ecofriendly biodegradation of Reactive Black 5 by newly isolated Sterigmatomyces halophilus SSA1575, valued for textile azo dye wastewater processing and detoxification.

Project description:A total of seven yeast strains from 18 xylanolytic and/or xylose-fermenting yeast species isolated from the wood-feeding termite Reticulitermes chinenesis could efficiently decolorize various azo dyes under high-salt conditions. Of these strains, a novel and unique azo-degrading and halotolerant yeast, Sterigmatomyces halophilus SSA1575, has been investigated in this study. This strain could significantly decolorize four combinations of a mixture of dyes. It showed a high capability for decolorizing Reactive Black 5 (RB5) even at 1,500 mg L-1. The strain SSA1575 still showed a high capability for decolorizing a 50 mg L-1 RB5 with a salt mixing at a NaCl concentration of up to 80 g L-1. It also exhibited significant ability to decolorize repeated additions of dye aliquots, with a reduction in time of up to 18 h. Most of the tested carbon and nitrogen sources could significantly enhance a RB5 decolorization. However, this process was inhibited by the addition of sucrose and sodium nitrate. NADH-dichlorophenol indophenol (NADH-DCIP) reductase and lignin peroxidase were determined as the key reductase and oxidase of S. halophilus SSA1575. Finally, strain SSA1575, can effectively detoxify RB5 into non-toxic products. Overall, S. halophilus SSA1575, might be a promising halotolerant yeast valued for the treatment of various textile effluents with high salinity.

Integral approach of sorption coupled with biodegradation for treatment of azo dye using Pseudomonas sp.: batch, toxicity, and artificial neural network.

Project description:The present study investigated the removal of azo dye (crystal violet) by adsorption (using a low-cost adsorbent fly ash), biodegradation (using bacterial species, Pseudomonas sp.), and an integrated approach of sorption coupled with biodegradation (using fly ash immobilized with Pseudomonas sp.) on a comparative scale. To ascertain immobilization of bacteria on fly ash, immobilized bacterial cells were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy, and fluorescence microscopy. Batch studies were conducted for optimization of the process parameters for ensuring maximum dye removal. The optimum pH, temperature, and initial dye concentration for the highest percentage of dye removal were found to be pH 7, 37 °C, and 50 mg/L in all the three cases. Under optimized conditions, the highest percentage of dye removal was found to be 89.24, 79.64, and 99.04% for biodegradation, sorption, and integrated approach of sorption and biodegradation, respectively. Finally, phytotoxicity studies carried out with the treated water on Cicer arietinum seeds also carried proved that these processes and the adsorbent did not exert any toxic effects on the seeds. Artificial neural network modeling revealed a close interaction between theoretically predicted and experimentally obtained results and with an error of around 1.1%. Thus, this novel, environmentally sustainable and economically viable technique may be applied for effective removal of crystal violet from industrial wastewater.
