Abstract

Azo dyes are widely used in textile industries for coloring the fabrics. These industries produced a large amount of wastewater contaminated with azo dyes which may be toxic to all life forms. Therefore, removal of dyes from wastewater is necessary prior to their disposal. The biological methods are an inexpensive and environment friendly way for the degradation of dyes from textile wastewater. Different taxonomic group of microorganisms are used in the biological treatments of textile dyes.
