Action of bacterium strain E. coli on dye effluentsAction C.2
Analyses to be carried out at a later stage
• Decoloration of DR202 and DO30 indicated that E. coli may both metabolise the dye and adsorb it on the cell walls
• Metabolism is indicated by the visible analisys of the supernatant: novel peaks may arise in the absorption pattern
• Evidence of adsorption is shown by the color of the pellet biomass after centrifugation of the E. coli culture for decoloration
• Decoloration is carried out in aerobic conditions at 37 C

Oxygenation of the culture may be an issue for the treatment of "large volumes" in the laboratory
The nutrient Luria-Bertani extract is added to aid bacteria growth/replication in each cycle
A fraction of the bacteria biomass is used in further cycles of decoloration
The reuse of dyeing effluent after depuration will be assessed at a later stage
