Abstract

Azo dye wastewater has garnered significant attention from researchers because of its association with high-temperature, high-salt, and high-alkali conditions. In this study, consortium ZZ efficiently decolorized brown D3G under halophilic and thermophilic conditions. he results indicated that consortium ZZ, which was mainly dominated by Marinobacter, Bacillus, and Halomonas, was achieved decolorization rates ranging from 1 to 10% at temperatures between 40 °C and 50 °C, while maintaining a pH range of 7 to 10 for direct brown D3G degradation. Through the comprehensive utilization of UV-vis spectral analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), gas chromatography mass spectrometric (GC-MS) techniques, as well as metagenomic analysis, the decolorization and degradation pathway of direct brown by consortium ZZ was proposed. The azo dye reductase, lignin peroxidase, and laccase were also highly expressed in the decolorization process. Additionally, phytotoxicity tests using seeds of Cucumis sativus and Oryza sativa revealed that the intermediates generated showed no significant toxicity compared with distilled water. This investigation elucidated the pivotal contribution of consortium ZZ to azo dye degradation and provided novel theoretical insights along with practical guidance for azo dye treatment at halo-thermophilic conditions.
