Almost 100 % degradation was observed within 16 h at the initial Acid Scarlet 3R concentrations of 1000 mg L每1 under the optimal conditions, which were: 1 g dextrin L每1, 3 g yeast extract L每1, NaCl ≒ 30 g L每1, pH 8.0 and 35每45 oC. Azoreductase, laccase and NADH-DCIP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dichlorophenol indophenols) reductase were induced during the degradation of Acid Scarlet 3R. Kinetics study of degradation experiments approximated the first-order reaction. The maximum rate (Vmax) and substrate affinity constant (Ks) were found to be 115.90 mg L每1 h每1 and 1193.23 mg L-1, respectively, using Michaelis-Menten kinetics. This work provides new data characterizing Acid Scarlet 3R degradation by bacteria, as well as practical application potential in biological treatment of industrial effluents containing various azo dyes.
