Effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on Escherichia coli bacteria in removing dyes

Increasing the demand for clothing and simultaneous increase in production activities, largely responsible for the textile dye waste. To lower the pollution of colouring compounds in the textile industries, a robust and sustainable treatment process called biodegradation is useful. In the present study the parametric effect namely the effect of carbon and nitrogen sources on Escherichia coli in removing methylene blue and methyl orange dyes is discussed. Analysing the results shows that the Glucose and ammonium sulphate are proven to be the best carbon and nitrogen sources respectively, with some usage pause on the maintenance of experimental conditions.
