Abstract
Azo dyes are extremely toxic and pose significant environmental and health risks. Consequently, mineralization and conversion to simple compounds are required to avoid their hazardous effects. A variety of enzymes from the bacterial system are thought to be involved in the degradation and metabolism of azo dyes. Bioremediation, a cost effective and eco-friendly biotechnology, involving bacteria is powered by bacterial enzymes. As mentioned, several enzymes from the bacterial system serve as molecular weapons in the degradation of these dyes. Among these enzymes, azoreductase, oxidoreductase, and laccase are of great interest for the degradation and decolorization of azo dyes. Combination of the oxidative and reductive enzymes is used for the removal of azo dyes from water. The aim of this review article is to provide information on the importance of bacterial enzymes. The review also discusses the genetically modified microorganisms in the biodegradation of azo dyes in polluted water.
