Localization of the Enzyme System Involved in Anaerobic Reduction of Azo Dyes by Sphingomonas sp. Strain BN6 and Effect of Artificial Redox Mediators on the Rate of Azo Dye Reduction.
The effect of different artificial redox mediators on the anaerobic reduction of azo dyes by Sphingomonas sp. strain BN6 or activated sludge was investigated. Reduction rates were greatly enhanced in the presence of sulfonated anthraquinones. For strain BN6, the presence of both cytoplasmic and membrane-bound azo reductase activities was shown.
