Decolorization of Metanil Yellow G by a halophilic alkalithermophilic bacterial consortium.Increased temperature, salinity and alkalinity restrict the biodecolorization rate of textile wastewater.  In the present study, the halophilic alkalithermophilic bacterial consortium ZSY, which can decolorize azo dyes under 10% salinity, pH 10 and 50 °C, was enriched.  Overall, this halophilic alkalithermophilic bacterial consortium could be a promising candidate for the treatment of textile wastewater in environments with increased temperature, salinity and alkalinity.
