In-Depth Information
Actinomycetes degrade azo dyes by enzyme involved in reduction and oxidation
process. However, further work is still needed for the isolation and selection of
strains carrying the effective enzyme systems for bioremediation of wastewater
containing dyes. Besides, there is an urgent need to study the source of low carbon
like potatoes peel or other organic waste for the production of low-cost actino-
mycetes biomass. The adaptability and long-term survival of degrading Actino-
bacteria in the bioreactor system should also be taken into account to develop an
effective treatment strategy that can be used across the
eld. Maintaining high
levels of speci
c microorganisms in the treatment system is a great challenge.
Advanced molecular techniques should be applied to monitor the microbial com-
munity structure, the persistence of the inoculum added, and their interactions with
indigenous populations.
