In the present study mixed cultures that could grew in the molasses media were isolated from textile dye effluent and its decolorization activity was studied in a batch system under anaerobic conditions, in order to determine the optimal conditions required for the highest decolorization activity. The optimum pH value for decolorization was determined as 8 for all the dyes tested. In the experiment with pH 8 dye decolorizations by mixed cultures were investigated at about 96.2–1031.3 mg l−1 initial dye concentrations. The highest dye removal rates of mixed cultures were 94.9% for Reactive Red RB, 91.0% for Reactive Black B and 63.6% for Remazol Blue at 953.2, 864.9 and 1031.3 mg l−1 initial dye concentrations respectively within 24 h incubation period. When the Reactive Red RB was used, approximately 82–98% total color removal was obtained at between 96.2 and 953.2 mg l−1 initial dye concentrations after 12 h of incubation at 35 °C. These results show that our enriched mixed cultures have the potential to serve as an excellent biomass for the use in reactive dye removal from wastewaters under anaerobic conditions.
