Biodegradation and decolorization of triphenylmethane dyes by Staphylococcus epidermidis

Our results suggest the potential use of Staphylococcus epidermidis in triphenylmethane dyes decolorization. Phytotoxicity studies revealed that biodegradation of dyes by a microbial culture, resulted in its detoxification. Thus treated effluent can be used for ferti-irrigation.
