...as metal ions as well as dyes. In the current study novel polymer composites were prepared using natural polymers chitosan and starch in molds. Structure of composites was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The physical parameters such as weight and swelling degree of composite were studied. Chitosan starch based composites were used in treatment of waste water to remove a toxic anionic dye Congo red. Congo red solution (0.015 mM) was treated with po...

...effluents containing azo dyes will contaminate the environment without decolorization. Bacterial decolorization generally demonstrates good color removal effects. In this study, the capability of Enterococcus avium to decolorize both water and oil-soluble azo dyes were investigated. The bacteria was incubated under static conditions in the presence of 50mg/L Amaranth or 5 mg/L Sudan I in LB media at 37°C for 10 h,...

...troporation. Using vital dyes (Alexaflour 488), visualization of motility was observed in wild type, Δ fliI mutant and fliI complemented strainwhich was further assessed by biofilm formation ability. Swimming, swarming motility alongwith significantly reduced biofilm formation was observed in Δ fliI mutant compared to wild type and fliI complemented strains. This study will extend initial evidence that FliI plays importa...

In addition to solubilization phenomena, in the present study foam formation more specifically ion flotation has been discussed to understand the dye-surfactant interactions resulting in the removal of dyes/colored substances....

... using hematoxylin-eosin dyes (HE). On histopathological examination, congestion, edema, mild infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages in the meningen, and ischemic neuronal pyknosis were found in the brain. In the synovial tissue, there is a heavy infiltration of neutrophils with few macrophages. Microbiological examination showed the growth of small round colonies, grayish-white, mucoid but hemolysis reaction was not clearly visible. On Gram staining, the...

...Huge amount of untreated dyes is being discharged in the industrial effluents. Azo dyes are of major concern due to their extensive use and carcinogenic properties. Here we have studied the microbial degradation of four textile azo (C.I reactive black 5, yellow 145, and red 195) and phthalocyanine dyes (C.I reactive blue 21). Thirty-five bacteria and one yeast isolated from textile industr...

Also, CC exposure causes decreased liver, kidney, and testicular functioning, as well as significant histopathological abnormalities. Therefore, the present study investigated the toxic effect of CC and the protective effect of Propolis aqueous extract on CC-induced toxicity in male rats. A total of 24 Wistar albino rats were included in this study, divided into four groups; each group ...

...align: justify;">Natural dyes have been used as colorants in food, leather as well as textile since prehistoric times. These dyes are obtained from vegetable and animal matter with no or very little chemical processing. Turmeric spice is used in making natural dye. In this study dye was developed by using three concentration levels from turmeric powder. Then apply a dye on silk fabric after binding it with vinegar. The dye&r...
