A Staphylococcus sp. EY-3 with the capability of decolorizing Congo Red was isolated from soil at an effluent treatment plant of a textile and dyeing industry. This strain was able to almost completely decolorize a high concentration of Congo Red in 48 h under aerobic conditions. Optimal color removal (more than 96%) was achieved at 30- 40oC, and no noticeable effects of different pH values (5.5- 8.0) on decolorization were observed. This strain also exhibited a remarkable decolorization capability against azo dyes under aerobic conditions, even at a high concentration (dyes 1 g/l) of dye. The metabolic product of Congo Red degradation by this strain was identified by gas chromatography with mass selective detection (GC/MSD) to be an amine derivative benzidine.

The fading of dyed material by light has long been subject of investigation, yet surprisingly little is known of the fundamental photochemical reactions, because of mainly the complex nature of dye-fibre system. The effect of the chemical structure of dye on lightfastness has been mostly studied when there is substituents on the place satisfied Hammett rule. Therefore, in this investigation the effectiveness of chemical structures of Congo Red and Benzopurpurine 4B unsatisfied Hammett rule on dyeing property and lightfastness of cotton was studied. The results obtained from this study were as follows; 1. Highly polar solvents showed hypsochromic shift. 2. Adsorption isotherm curves of the two dyes were Freundlich type. And Congo Red showed good dyeing property in comparision with Benzopurpurine 4B. 3. The type of the FR curve of the two dyes was first-ordr curve. And the CF curves of the two dyes showed normal fading state during irradiation. 4. During irradiation, the Hue was changed on the part of yellowish. The Value was increasing and the Chroma was decreasing. 5. Benzopurpurine 4B showed good lightfastness in comparision with Congo Red.

화학적으로 안정한 다환 방향족 염료을 페수처리시설이나 천연적인 분해에 통해서 제거시키는 것이 비효율적인 것으로 알려져 있다. 다환 방향족 염료를 제거를 위하여 우리는 여러 버섯균류의 조사하였다. 한국의 야산에서 채집된 230종의 버섯으로부터 조직분리를 통하여 100개 버섯 균을 분리하였다. 염료(Bromophenol Blue, Congo Red, 혹은 Methylene Blue)를 함유한 배지에 분리된 버섯 균을 10%로 접종한 후 7일 동안 정치배양 혹은 진탕배양하여 염료제거능이 우수한 6 종의 버섯 균을 선발하였다. 이렇게 선발된 버섯 균을 대상으로 다핵방향족 염료를 제거하는 능력을 조사하였다. 모든 버섯 균이 진탕배양 시보다 정치배양 시 더 우수한 염료제거 능을 보였다. 염료에 따른 염료제거능은 대부분의 경우에서 Methylene Blue, Bromophenol Blue, Congo Red 순으로 증가하였다. 위 세 염료 중에서 Congo Red가 가장 많이 흡착되었다.

A dye-decolorizing bacterium was isolated from a soil sample and identified as Bacillus thuringiensis using 16S rRNA sequencing. The bacterium was able to decolorize three different textile dyes, namely, Reactive blue 13, Reactive red 58, and Reactive yellow 42, and a real dyehouse effluent up to 80-95% within 6 h. Some non-textile industrially important dyes were also decolorized to different extents. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer analysis of the ethyl acetate extract of Congo red dye and its metabolites showed that the bacterium could degrade it by the asymmetric cleavage of the azo bonds to yield sodium (4-amino-3-diazenylnaphthalene-1-sulfonate) and phenylbenzene. Sodium (4-amino-3-diazenylnaphthalene-1-sulfonate) was further oxidized by the ortho-cleavage pathway to yield 2-(1-amino-2-diazenyl-2-formylvinyl) benzoic acid. There was induction of the activities of laccase and azoreductase during the decolorization of Congo red, which suggests their probable role in the biodegradation. B. thuringiensis was found to be versatile and could be used for industrial effluent biodegradation.

To obtain basic information on the detection of cellulolytic activity in Auricularia auricula-judae, the influences of dye reagent, pH, and temperature were assessed. Chromogenic dye (congo red, phenol red, remazol brilliant blue, and trypan blue) was individually incorporated into a medium containing either carboxymethyl-cellulose, Avicel, or D-cellobiose as a polysaccharide carbon substrate. The other assessments utilized pHs ranging from 4.5 to 8.0 and temperatures from $15\sim35^{\circ}C$. Overall, when A. auricula-judae species were transferred onto media contained Congo red and adjusted pH 7.0 and then incubated at $25^{\circ}C$ for 5 days, the clear zone indicative of cellulolytic activity was more pronounced.

Using a new evaluation method, Congo red method, the foliar uptakes of eight fungicides were measured. Among the fungicides tested, fenarimol, myclobutanil, edifenphos, isoprothiolane, and tricyclazole were found to be penetrable (11.0~42.8%), and were continuously absorbed into the leaf regardless of their formulation types. Procymidone, dimethomorpb, and ethaboxan were seldomly absorbed into plant leaf. The uptakes of dimethomorph and ethaboxam were facilitated (18.1~22.7%) in the presence of Koremul-OE-20, as an activator, showing plateau phase at 12h after application. Foliar uptake of fenarimol and myclobutanil into cucumber plant by spray application was larger than that by dropping application, while observed opposite in the cases of dimethomorph and ethaboxam containing activator. Congo red method in conjunction with spraying application used in the present study produced the clear results on foliar uptake of fungicides and therefore proved to be better than the conventional method in which the dropping application of pesticide has been used.

The effects of electrolytes on color fastness properties of cotton fabric with Congo Red have been studied at $90^{\circ}C$. Each dyeing carried with $10 \times 10^{-6}M$ of Congo Red and with various concentration of electrolytes. The results obtained from this study were as follow 1. In the case of none, the fastness to washing became worse, but the fastness to light better with increasing dye concentration. 2. In the case of additing an electrolyte, the fastness to washing became worse and the fastness to light better than the case of none. The samples had become yellower after washing test. Yellowness had been reduced after fade-O-meter test. 3. What kind of electrolytes could not have any effect on the fastness to washing, but they influenced the fastness to light in the order of LiCl

섬유소 분해능이 있는 bacteria를 분리 동정하거나 유전자 재조합에 의한 형질 전환주중에서 이 분해능을 갖는 재조합주를 신속하고도 착실하게 분리해내는 일은, 섬유소 분해능을 가진 유전자를 복제 및 발현시키려는데 있어서 일차적인 조건이 된다. 한정된 양(0.005%)의 yeast ext를 함유한 기본배지에 0.5%의 CMC를 첨가 시킴으로써, 오직 섬유소 분해능이 있는 bacteria만을 분리할 수 있었고, 뒤이은 Congo red dye처리에 의해 세포벽 밖으로 분비 가능한 섬유소 분해효소를 생산하는 bacteria를 다시 구별해낼 수 있었다. 한편, 개발된 CMC 기본배지는 CMC대신 다른 탄소원 중합체를 대치시킴으로써, 다른 종류의 탄수화물 분해능을 갖는 bacteria도 쉽게 분리해 낼 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.

ZnO, CdS, rutile-$TiO_2$ 및 혼합 rutile-$TiO_2$/ZnO와 같은 여러 반도체를 이용하여 Congo Red를 광 촉매 분해시켰다. 연구 결과 ZnO, CdS, rutile-$TiO_2$ 중에서는 CdS의 광 촉매 효과가 제일 컸는데 이것은 CdS가 제일 작은 band gap 에너지를 가지고 있기 때문이었다. 또한 혼합 촉매에서는 ZnO의 함량이 rutile-$TiO_2$에 비하여 상대적으로 높을수록 분해 반응을 촉진하였다. 이것은 $Zn^{2+}$ 가수분해 생성물이 구조적으로 안정한 화합물인 rutile-$TiO_2$의 표면을 덮음으로서 자외선 흡수를 차단하기 때문에 라디칼 생성을 저해하기 때문이었다.
