Several local microorganisms were isolated and screened for their capabilities to decolorize selected azo dyes. Two isolates, RII and NHG have shown their capabilities to decolorize azo dyes i.e. Metanil Yellow (monoazo) and Reactive Black 5 (diazo), respectively, under aerobic condition at room tem...
