Abstract
Malachite green (MG), a triphenylmethane dye is extensively used for coloring silk, aquaculture and textile industries, it has also has been reported toxic to life forms. This study aimed to investigate the biodegradation potential of MG by actinobacteria. The potent actinobacterial strain S20 used in this study was isolated from forest soil (Sabarimala, Kerala, India) and identified as Streptomyces chrestomyceticus based on phenotype and molecular features. Strain S20 degraded MG up to 59.65 ± 0.68% was studied in MSM medium and MG (300 mg l−1) and degradation was increased (90–99%) by additions of 1% glucose and yeast extract into the medium at pH 7. The treated metabolites from MG by S20 characterized by FT-IR and GC–MS. The results showed MG has been degraded into nontoxic compounds evaluated by (1) phytotoxic assay on Vigna radiata, (2) microbial toxicity on Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Micrococcus luteus, Streptococcus sp. and Escherichia coli, (3) cytotoxicity assay in a human cell line (MCF 7). The toxicity studies demonstrated that the byproducts from MG degradation by S. chrestomyceticus S20 were no toxic to plants and microbes and less toxic to human cells as compared to the parent MG. Perhaps this is the first work reported on biodegradation of MG by S. chrestomyceticus which could be a potential candidate for the removal of MG from various environments.
