Omics-Based Approaches in Research on Textile Dye Microbial Decolorization.

Area of Science:

• Environmental Science
• Microbiology
• Biotechnology

Background:

• The textile industry significantly pollutes the environment, particularly through dye usage.
• Azo dyes are a major concern due to potential carcinogenic byproducts from bacterial decomposition.
• Conventional dye treatment methods are often inefficient and environmentally harmful.

Purpose of the Study:
