Inoculum or test system:
sewage, domestic (adaptation not specified)
Details on inoculum:
1. The Reactive Violet 5R manufacturing industry’s wastewater was collected from Ganesh Dyechem industry, Vatva, Ahmedabad, India. The pH of the wastewater generated after dye synthesis was in the range of 4.0–5.5. The dye manufacturing industry adjusts the pH of the wastewater around neutral before discharging it into the common effluent treatment plant.
2. Soil samples collected from contaminated sites around Ganesh Dyechem Industry situated in Vatva industrial estate, Gujarat, were used for isolation and screening of dye-decolourizing cultures by enrichment culture techniques using nutrient broth amended with 300 mg/L RV5 dye

Interpretation of results:
other: biodegradable in a down flow fixed film bioreactor
Conclusions:
Reactive Violet 5R was assessed for its general biodegradation potential in an experiment with a down flow fixed silm bioreactor (DFFR) containing a culture of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The wastewater from an industrial site in India where the reactive dye has been manufactured was used for the biodegradation study. The COD of the 1:20 diluted wastewater was >32000 mg/L (containing ca. 500 - 4000 mg/L dye substance). A reduction of ca 88% could be determined for the COD, 95% of the organic matter could be removed by biodegradation, even 99% copper were remediated. The study could show that reactive dyes in wastewater have a certain potential to be biodegradable in special treatments like the DFFR. However, since the experimental design is not reflecting the conditions used in OECD test guidelines, the substance is not considered readily biodegradable.
