Utilization of textile wastewater as carbon source by newly isolated Haloarcula sp. IRU1: optimization of conditions by Taguchi methodology

Wastewater of textile industry is one of the most important threats to the environment and human health. The Taguchi methodology was applied to optimize conditions for the growth of a novel Haloarcula sp. IRU1 with a textile wastewater as carbon source by evaluating the influence of temperature, concentration of textile wastewater and pH on biomass of Haloarcula sp. IRU1. We intended to evaluate biodegradation ability of this bacterium. Highest biomass of Haloarcula sp. IRU1 was achieved at temperature 47°C, concentration of textile wastewater 7% v/v and pH 9. In conclusion, the isolated halophilic bacterium Haloarcula sp. IRU1 can utilize textile wastewater as carbon source and biodegrade it in different conditions.
