Removal of Triphenylmethane Dyes by Bacterial Consortium by Jihane Cheriaa, Monia Khaireddine, Mahmoud Rouabhia, Amina Bakhrouf

“…UV-Visible absorption spectra, FTIR analysis and the inspection of bacterial cells growth indicated that color removal by the CM-4 was due to biodegradation. Evaluation of mutagenicity by using Salmonella typhimurium test strains, TA98 and TA100 studies revealed that the degradation of crystal violet and malachite green by CM-4 did not lead to mutagenic products. …”
