New pathway for degradation of sulfonated azo dyes by microbial peroxidases of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Streptomyces chromofuscus

Abstract: Pathways for the degradation of 3,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-azobenzene-4'-sulfonic acid (I) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyazobenzene-4'-sulfonamide (II) by the manganese peroxidase and ligninase of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and by the peroxidase of Streptomyces chromofuscus have been proposed. Twelve metabolic products were found, and their mechanisms of formation were explained. Preliminary oxidative activation of the dyes resulted in the formation of cationic species, making the molecules vulnerable to the nucleophili… Show more

“…The chemical structure of the dye could be the reason for extending the time for the decolorization. The degradability of acid red G was better than RBR X-3B, possibly due to its lower molecular mass and also attributed due to the structural differences [13]. These results suggest the efficiency of A. calcoaceticus has a potential to degrade textile dyes containing different chromophore groups.…”

“…Biodegradation of widely used synthetic dyes in textile industry especially azo ones by P. chrysosporium has been investigated previously (Cripps et al, 1990;Goszczynski et al, 1994;Beydilli et al, 1998;Naidu et al, 2003). The lignin degrading system of white-rot fungi is consisted of various extracellular enzymes such as laccases, peroxidases and oxidases (Shah and Nerud, 2002).…”

“…While fungal treatment of effluents is usually very time-consuming (3), immobilized enzymes could have potential for dye decolorization and recycling of effluents (1) without the need for the addition of growth substrates. The enzymes involved in the degradation of azo dyes are mainly peroxidases (12) and laccases (1). However, a significant cost reduction for these enzymes would be required in order to make this process economically more attractive.…”
