| Summary: | A study on the effects of aeration on biodecolourisation of an azo dye was carried out
using acclimated culture. Oxidation reduction potential was used as a measure of
degree of aeration. The results showed biodecolourisation to be dependent on degree
of aeration with negative or very low oxidation reduction potential being favourable
for decolourisation. This finding was in line with the postulation that
biodecolourisation occurred via azo bond cleavage |
