Abstract(s)

Looking beyond the traditional economy of “take, make and dispose” we established a multi-step enzymatic system for an eco-friendly biological treatment of dye-rich wastewaters simultaneously producing commercially interesting compounds. The dyeing process is responsible for the release into the environment of about 2.8 × 105 tons of dyes and dyestuff each year. The major component of these wastewaters are azo (-N=N-) dyes, which are recalcitrant and hazardous molecules.
