Abstract
Synthetic dyes usually consist of aromatic rings, methyl, methoxy, sulfo or nitro group. They are not readily degradable and can not be removed from water by conventional wastewater treatment systems (Anliker in Biodegradation of heterocyclic dyes by Phanerochaete chrysosporium 1990. Utah State University, Logan, 1979).
