displayed complete decolorization of Remazol Red sequentially
with a significant COD reduction (92%) within 6 h. The reduction
in COD of Remazol Red is higher than, Navy Blue HE2R by
Exiguobacterium sp. RD3 (55.55); Reactive Red 2 by Pseudomonas
sp. SUK1 (52%) and Reactive Green 19A by M. glutamicus NCIM-
2168 (68%), respectively (6,23,30). The results suggest that the
Lysinibacillus sp. RGS can utilize this dye and their reaction
intermediates as a carbon source, achieving mineralization of the
dye compound.
