Abstract
Biodegradation of sulphonated azo dye C.I. reactive orange 16 by Enterococcus faecalis strain YZ 66
Madhuri M.Sahasrabudhe and Girish R. Pathade
Textile dye Reactive orange 16 was selected for biotransformation studies by Enterococcus
faecalis YZ 66.Optimization of parameters for dye decolourization were studied under static
anoxic condition. Under optimized condition decolourization of Reactive orange 16 by
Enterococcus faecalis YZ 66 was found to be 77.73% in 80 minutes. Degradation of the dye was
confirmed by UV- Visible spectophotometric, TLC, and HPLC analysis. The isolate had potential
to decolourize mixture of five dyes. This indigenous isolate could be a potential organism for
bioremediation of textile wastewater carrying dyes.
