indigo-carmine and aniline-blue

Synthetic decolorization of dyes through solid cassava residue substrate fermentation with Trametes sp. SYBC-L4 via in vivo and in vitro processes was investigated in this study. Effects of pH and mediator (1-hydroxybenzotriazole, HBT) concentration on dyes decolorization were evaluated. In vitro, decolorization ratios of dyes differed considerably in pH and increased with the increasing of HBT concentration. Crude laccase (50 U/L) derived from Trametes sp. SYBC-L4 decolorized 67.91 ± 1.25 % Congo red (100 mg/L), 94.58 ± 1.05 % aniline blue (100 mg/L) and 99.02 ± 0.54 % indigo carmine (100 mg/L) with 2.5 mM HBT at pH 4.5 in 36 h of incubation. In vivo, decolorization ratios of dyes were not enhanced by usage of the mediator. After 10 days of fermentation, decolorization ratio of Congo red (1,000 mg/kg), aniline blue (1,000 mg/kg) and indigo carmine (1,000 mg/kg) was 57.82 ± 0.84, 92.53 ± 1.12 and 97.26 ± 1.92 % without the usage of mediator at pH 4.5, respectively. Moreover, there was no obvious difference between the in vivo decolorization of aniline blue and indigo carmine in the pH range of 3.0-9.0. Results showed that Trametes sp. SYBC-L4 had great potential to be used for dyes decolorization via in vivo and in vitro processes. Moreover, in terms of pH range and mediator, in vivo decolorization with Trametes sp. SYBC-L4 was more advantageous since laccase mediator was needless and the applicable range of pH was broader.

Response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the decolourization of 3 dyes belonging to 3 dye families such as reactive black 5 (diazoic), indigo carmine (indigoid) and aniline blue (anthraquinonic). Crude laccase from Trametes trogii and the laccase-mediator 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HBT) were used in this study. Box-Behnken design using RSM with six variables namely pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, HBT concentration, dye concentration and incubation time was used in this study to optimize significant correlation between the effects of these variables on the decolourization of reactive black 5 (RB5), indigo carmine (IC) and aniline blue (AB). The optimum of pH, temperature, laccase, HBT, RB5 and reaction time were 4.5, 0.5 U ml(-1), 0.5 mM, 100 mg ml(-1) and 150 min respectively, for a maximum decolourization of RB5 (about 92.92% ± 7.21). Whereas, the optimum decolourization conditions of both IC (99.76% ± 7.75) and AB (98.44% ± 10) were: pH 4.5, temperature of 45 °C, enzyme concentration of 0.1 U ml(-1) and 0.5 U ml(-1), HBT concentration of 0.9 mM and 0.5 mM, dye concentration of 60 mg l(-1) and reaction time of 150 and 90 min, respectively. The experimental values were in good agreement with the predicted ones and the models were highly significant, the correlation coefficient (R(2)) being 0.864, 0.663 and 0.776 for RB5, IC and AB, respectively. In addition, when the kinetic parameters for the three dyes decolourization were calculated according to Hannes-Wolf plot, the following values were obtained: Km of 268.4, 47.94 and 44.64 mg l(-1) then V(max) of 35.58, 10.43 and 9.23 mg l(-1) min for the RB5, IC and AB decolourizations by laccase, respectively.
