Abstract: Azo dyes are largest class of synthetic dyes used in textile industries. The disposal of wastewater from textile industry may have serious environmental concern. Bacterial decolorization of azo dyes from textile wastewater is an environment friendly and cost effective treatment system. Various species of bacteria produces azoreductase enzyme which have shown great potential to decolorize the textile azo dyes via reductive cleavage of azo bond under anaerobic or aerobic conditions.
