  • Title: Biodegradation of azo dyes by the yeast Candida zeylanoides in batch aerated cultures.
    Author: Martins MA, Cardoso MH, Queiroz MJ, Ramalho MT, Campos AM.
    Journal: Chemosphere; 1999 May; 38(11):2455-60. PubMed ID: 10204232.
    Abstract:
    A number of simple azo dyes was degraded in liquid aerated batch cultures by a strain of the yeast Candida zeylanoides. The standard decolorization medium contained glucose as a carbon and energy source, and its pH was either controlled to 5.0-5.2, or allowed to decrease to 3.2-2.8, in the course of microorganism growth. The extent of colour removal in the culture medium was assessed through the decrease in dye absorbance of the supernatants. The extent of colour removal ranged from 44 to 90%, after 7 days, for 5 out of 6 dyes studied in shaked cultures, without pH control, and from 46 to 67%, after 22 hours, for 6 out of 8 dyes in batch experiments, at controlled pH.
