title: Biodecolorization of Acid Red GR by a newly isolated Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4 using response surface methodology.
abstract: Decolorization of Acid Red GR by a newly isolated biphenyl-degrading bacterium, Dyella ginsengisoli LA-4 was presented in this paper. The optimal decolorization conditions were determined by response surface methodology (RSM) based on the rotatable central composite design. The results indicated that strain LA-4 possessed the highest decolorizing activity under anaerobic conditions with inoculation amount 6.49%, pH 7.06 and temperature 29 degrees C. Some ions such as Cu(2+), Zn(2+) could inhibit the decolorization, whereas 1 mmol/L of Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Co(2+), Fe(3+), Ni(2+) and Mn(2+) had no effects on the process. It was demonstrated that anthraquinone as a redox mediator could significantly accelerate the reduction process of azo dyes.
