Determining degree of mineralization of Remazol Red by
Lysinibacillus sp. RGS via COD measurement
Variety of synthetic dyestuff released by the textile industries pose a threat to
the environmental safety. It was observed that the transformed
intermediates of azo dyes (aromatic amines) using microbial
system are long-lived and highly toxic and mutagenic in nature
(29). To evaluate the decolorization and biodegradation level of the
Remazol Red by Lysinibacillus sp. RGS, the percentage of
mineralization (represented by COD removal ratio) by measuring
the initial and final COD content. The Lysinibacillus sp. RGS
