Previous works conducted in our laboratory reveled that Bacillus aryabhattai showed interesting enzymatic activities such as cellulase, laccase and pectinases, opening new applications in different bioprocesses. In this sense, the treatment of disposal residues such as dyes from the textile industry with this microorganism can be an attractive process, since textile processing industries consume large volumes of water and their effluents have dyes with concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 0.2 g/L, being an important source of environmental pollution. Preliminary results showed the ability of this microorganism to remove dyes on agar plates containing Coomassie Brilliant Blue, Remazol Brilliant Blue R and Brilliant Green (0.050 g/L). These results also suggested that degradation of dyes depends on the culture medium used. The aim of this work is the study of the ability to remove or adsorb different dyes by B. aryabhattai in both liquid and solid culture media as well as their optimal conditions. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.nbt.2015.10.020
Haloarchaea constitute a major part of microbial populations in hostile environments, playing a crucial role in regulating biogeochemical cycles in them. Knowledge on archaeal denitrification and NOx gases production is still limited. Most of the studies reported on haloarchaeal denitrification suggest that some species perform complete denitrification, reducing NO3 − to N2 , which is released into the atmosphere. These organisms can be used in wastewater treatments. Previous studies using denitrifying haloarchaea demonstrated that they are able to reduce high concentrations of NO3 − to N2 (some of the species remove efficiently up to 2 M NO3 − plus up to 60 mM NO2 − , which are the highest concentrations described up to now [1]). This is an innovative way to treat wastewater that allows brines and salty waters treatments/recycling. The aim of this work is to design middle scale bioremediation treatments using haloarchaea. Moreover, some haloarchaea denitrifiers that will be used for wastewater treatments produce high amount of carotenoids, which have high interest for several industrial sectors (cosmetics, pharmacology, animal feed).
