The decolorization and degradation of azo dyes by two Stenotrophomonas strains isolated from textile effluent (Tepetitla, Mexico).

ABSTRACT: Stenotrophomonas' metabolic versatility plays important roles in the remediation of contaminated environment and plant growth promotion. We investigated two Stenotrophomonas strains isolated from textile polluted sewage for their ability to decolorize and degrade azo dyes. Two Stenotrophomonas strains (TepeL and TepeS) were isolated from textile effluents (Tepetitla, Mexico) using the selective agar Stenotrophomonas vancomycin, imipenem, amphotericin B agar (SVIA). Isolates' identity was determined by the sequencing of their partial 16S rRNA fragments. Their abilities to decolorize dyes were tested in a Luria broth supplemented with varying concentrations (50 mg/L-1 g/L) of textile dyes (acidic red, methyl orange, reactive green, acidic yellow, and reactive black).
