Abstract
Toxic effluents containing azo dyes are discharged from various
industries, and they adversely affect water resources, soil fertility, aquatic
organisms, and ecosystem integrity. They pose toxicity (lethal effect,
genotoxicity, mutagenicity, and carcinogenicity) to plants, aquatic organisms,
and animals. Considering the potential applications of bioremediation processes
in wastewater treatment, the present investigation targets the complete
detoxification of Trypan Blue by phytotoxicity studies. Phytotoxicity studies
indicated that the extracted metabolites (degraded dye) contain nontoxic
metabolites, resulting in good germination rate as well as significant root and
shoot length of Gossypium spp., Vigna radiata, Cicer arietinum, Zea
mays, and Triticum aestivumwhen compared to dye samples (untreated),
where inhibition in all these parameters was observed.
