摘要

The textile dyeing industry’s wastewater is a well-known environmental threat, particularly due to the persistent nature of indigo dye. This study tackles this challenge head on by exploring a novel bacterial consortium approach for effective dye decolourization. Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), we optimized key factors pH, temperature, inoculum size, glucose, and NH4Cl to enhance the decolourization process. A Central Composite Design (CCD) revealed a significant influence of these variables, leading to the development of a robust quadratic model that showed excellent alignment between experimental and predicted values. Our findings demonstrate that under optimal conditions (inoculum size 1.25 ± 0.5% with ~ 108 cells/mL, pH 6 ± 0.5, temperature 35 ± 2 °C, glucose 1.5 ± 0.5%, and NH4Cl 1.8 ± 0.5%), the decolourization rate of 100 mg/L indigo dye was significantly enhanced. This study not only underscores the power of statistical tools in optimizing bioremediation processes but also paves the way for more sustainable and cost-effective wastewater treatment strategies. Our results offer promising avenues for tackling industrial effluents laden with persistent dyes, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.
