Degradation and Biosorption of Textile Dye in a Yeast Bioreactor

Textile industrial effluent releases large quantities of dye residues into the environment, polluting and altering the entire aquatic ecosystem. In addition to visual pollution, the compounds are highly toxic and are considered mutagenic and bioaccumulative in biota. Degradation and biosorption treatment using Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast has great potential for treating textile industry waste and reducing the toxicity of the effluent.
