A 6.3 kb DNA fragment containing genes responsible for azo-dye decolorization was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The resulting recombinant strain E. coli CY1 decolorized 200 mg azo dye (C.I. Reactive Red 22) l(-1) at 28 degreesC at 8.2 mg g cell(-1) h(-1), while the host (E. coli DH5 alpha) had no color-removal activity. Addition of 0.5 mM isopropyl-beta -d-thiogalacto-pyranoside (IPTG) increased the decolorization rate 3.4-fold. The dependence of the decolorization rate on initial dye concentration essentially followed Monod-type kinetics and the maximal rate occurred with the dye at 600 mg l(-1). The decolorization rate of E. coli CY1 was optimal at 40 degreesC and pH 11. Aeration (increased dissolved O-2 level) strongly inhibited the decolorization, but decolorization occurred effectively under static incubation conditions (no agitation was employed). The CY1 strain also exhibited excellent stability during repeated-batch operations.
