PHYTOREMEDIATION OF CONGO RED AND BRILLIANT GREEN USING Lemna minor | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

A wide variety of colourful, vibrant hues have been produced by textile dyes. Their toxic nature, however, has become a source of grave concern for ecologists. The use of textile dyes influences all aspects of life in an adverse way. Plants may have many benefits, such as cost-effectiveness, aesthetic benefits, long-term applicability, etc. They can also be used in contaminated areas where other types of treatment are too costly. The objective of our research is to determine the efficacy of an aquatic plant (Lemna minor) in removing dyes from water. For 21 days under ambient temperature (28±2°C), Lemna minor was used to treat (0.01, 0.04 and 0.07) μg/L of Congo Red (CR) and Brilliant Green (BG) dye. The object of this research (Complete chlorophyll, Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll b, Total protein, Superoxide dismutase enzyme (SOD), Catalase enzyme (CAT) and dye removal ratio) was to investigate the measurement. The findings showed that the percentage of CR dye removal was higher than BG (51 percent and 9 percent during 7th days and 1st day respectively at 0.01 μg/L. During the seven days, chlorophyll pigments and protein contents were decreased. Compared to control, lemna minor biomass was significantly increased with increasing CR and BG concentrations. In addition, BG was more effective for decreasing.
