Removal of Triphenylmethane Dyes by Bacterial Consortium

Figure 3

UV-visible spectra of crystal violet (a) and malachite green (b) at 0 h (control) and after 2 h, decolorized by CM-4 in mineral salts medium water (pH 7.5). The experience was performed by a bacterial consortium CM-4 with dyes at concentrations (50 mg/L) supplemented by yeast extract (0.1%) and glucose (7 mM), at 35°C, under shaking conditions (120 rpm).
