Abstract

Abstract : Tea residue promoted the decolorization of RB19 by activating flora DDMY2, revealing corresponding degradation pathways and functional genera in DDMY2. Abstract : In this study, a newly screened mixed bacterial flora DDMY2 had high decolorization capacity for anthraquinone dye reactive blue 19 (RB19) and the decolorization efficiency of 300 mg L −1 RB19 could reach up to 98% within 48 h in the presence of tea residue. Results indicated that RB19 could be efficiently decolorized by flora DDMY2 in wide ranges of pH values (5.0–9.0), temperatures (30–40 °C) and initial dye concentrations (50–500 mg L −1 ) under the activation of tea residue. Concentration of tea residue had been proved to significantly impact the decolorization performance. UV-vis spectrophotometry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry and liquid chromatography/time-of-flight/mass spectrometry analysis showed three identified degradation products and the possible degradation pathway of RB19 was speculated. High-throughput sequencing analysis revealed the community structures of bacterial flora before and after domestication by tea residue. Based on the result, it was inferred that unclassified _ o _ Pseudomonadales, Brevibacillus, Stenotrophomonas and Bordetella activated by tea residue were responsible for the excellent decolorization performance. Results of this research deepen our understanding of the biodegradation process of anthraquinone dyes by bacterial flora and broaden the knowledge of utilizing tea residue as a bioactivator in biological treatment.
