Anthraquinone dyes, which include an anthraquinone chromophore group, are the second-largest among dye classes, which is often employed in textile manufacturing. A significant number of anthraquinone dyes get into the environment, creating severe pollution since many of these dyes have intricate and stable structures. Currently, microbiological treatment of wastewater is an economically and feasibly viable solution for treating printing and dyeing wastewater, and there are growing reports of biodegradation of anthraquinone dyes. In this review, we outline the current advances in the biodegradation of anthraquinone dyes, summarizes dyes biodegradation by bacterial, fungal, and algae strains, factors influencing dyes biodegradation, current methods in enhancing dyes biodegradation, resuscitation of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) bacteria for better microbial performance, and potentials of VBNC bacteria in degrading dyes. Finally, future directions and important areas for study are given, and such efforts are anticipated to improve the anaerobic degradation process.
