Azo dyes are complex compounds generally recalcitrant to biodegradation. From their catabolism several toxic and carcinogenic compounds are formed, in particular when their decolorization is reached through a reductive cleavage of the azo groups. For this reason the full degradation of the dyes and the intermediates is necessary to prevent risks for human health. Their mineralization can usually be reached with aerobic treatments or with two-steps anaerobic/aerobic treatments. Several environmental and physiological factors can influence the microbial activity and consequently the efficacy and effectiveness of the complete biodegradation processes. The roles of oxygen, bioavailability, adsorption, nutrients and cometabolic induction, dye concentration, pH, temperature, and salinity are treated.
