This study characterized the bacterial diversity and enzyme activities of soil near Orathupalayam dam in Tamil Nadu, India. Long-term exposure to azo dyes resulted in an increase in the relative abundance of Saccharibacteria, important for dye degradation, while the dye compounds may have been deposited in agricultural fields through irrigation.
Discharge of untreated wastewater is one of the major problems in various countries. The use of azo dyes in textile industries are one of the key xenobiotic compounds which effect both soil and water ecosystems and result in drastic effect on the microbial communities. Orathupalayam dam, which is constructed over Noyyal river in Tamil Nadu, India has become a sink of wastewater from the nearby textile industries. The present study had aimed to characterize the bacterial diversity and community profiles of soil collected from the vicinity of the dam (DS) and allied agricultural field (ALS) nearby the catchment area. The soil dehydrogenase and cellulase activities were significantly lower in DS compared to ALS. Additionally, the long-term exposure to azo dye compounds resulted in higher relative abundance of Saccharibacteria (36.4%) which are important for degradation of azo dyes. On the other hand, the relative abundance of Proteobacteria (25.4%) were higher in ALS. Interestingly, the abundance of Saccharibacteria (15.2%) were also prominent in ALS suggesting that the azo compounds might have deposited in the agricultural field through irrigation. Hence, this study revealed the potential bacterial phyla which can be key drivers for designing viable technologies for degradation of xenobiotic dyes.
