Optimization of Reactive Blue 4 Decolorization by an Indigenous Bacterial Consortium of Acinetobacter sp. and Acidovorax sp. and Evaluation of Post-Treatment Toxicity Reduction
Textile wastewater tainted with persistent synthetic dyes poses a severe ecological concern due to its resistance to conventional treatment methods and high toxicity. The present study was conducted to examine the biodegradation of Reactive Blue 4 (RB4), an anthraquinone dye, by a functional microbial consortium of two...
