Overview

Demonstrates effective bioremediation of Reactive Red 120 in textile effluents, suggesting a sustainable solution for dye pollution.

Key Points

  • The research aimed to assess the biodegradation potential of Enterobacter cloacae VITPBS14 for Reactive Red 120.
  • Isolated indigenous bacterial strains from textile effluents.
  • Conducted initial screenings to identify effective strains, focusing on E. cloacae VITPBS14.
  • Optimized degradation conditions using Box–Behnken design.
  • Analyzed metabolites via UV–Vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, HPLC, and LC-HRMS.
  • Performed molecular docking studies to explore enzyme-substrate interactions.
  • E. cloacae VITPBS14 achieved maximum decolorization of Reactive Red 120 within 72 hours.
  • Statistical optimization significantly enhanced dye degradation efficiency.
  • Identified degradation products confirmed reduced toxicity compared to the original dye.
  • Molecular docking revealed critical binding sites for the degradation enzymes.
