Systematic Evaluation of Biodegradation of Azo Dyes by Microorganisms: Efficient Species, Physicochemical Factors, and Enzymatic Systems

Azo dyes used in textiles and fashion contaminate water supplies and pose health risks including cancer potential. This research review shows that certain microorganisms like specific fungi and bacteria can break down these harmful dyes into less toxic substances through natural enzymatic processes. By optimizing conditions like pH and temperature, and using combinations of different microbes, scientists have achieved degradation rates up to 90%, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to traditional chemical treatment methods.

Bibliometric analysis of global research on white rot fungi biotechnology for environmental application

White rot fungi are special mushrooms that can break down difficult-to-decompose pollutants in soil and water, offering a natural and cost-effective way to clean up environmental contamination. This research study analyzed over 3,900 scientific publications about using these fungi for environmental cleanup from 2003 to 2020. The analysis found that research on white rot fungi has grown significantly, with scientists from China and the USA leading the field, and identified three major application areas: treating biomass waste, removing dyes from wastewater, and cleaning polluted environments.
