Studies on stable azoreductase enzyme from chromobacterium violaceum possible application in industrial effluent dye degradation

Abstract

The presence of dyes including azo functional group N N containing dyes in industrial wastewater is one of the major causes of water pollution This report showcases the functional role of azoreductase from Chromobacterium violaceum MTCC No 2656 as a valuable enzyme for the degradation of azo dyes The enzyme was cloned expressed purified and biochemically characterized and further tested for degradation efficiency of an azo group containing dyes like methyl red amaranth and methyl...
