The Mechanism of Aniline Blue Degradation by Short-Chain Dehydrogenase (SDRz) in Comamonas testosteroni.

ABSTRACT: Dye wastewater pollution, particularly from persistent and toxic polycyclic organic pollutants, such as aniline blue, poses a significant environmental challenge. Aniline blue, a triphenylmethane dye widely used in the textile, leather, paper, and pharmaceutical industries, is notoriously difficult to treat owing to its complex structure and potential for bioaccumulation. In this study, we explored the capacity of Comamonas testosteroni (CT1) to efficiently degrade aniline blue, focusing on the underlying enzymatic mechanisms and degradation pathways. Through prokaryotic transcriptome analysis, we identified a significantly upregulated short-chain dehydrogenase (SDRz) gene (log₂FC = 2.11, p < 0.05) that plays a crucial role in the degradation process.
