Triphenylmethane dyes belong to the most important group of synthetic colorants and are used extensively in the textile industries for dying cotton, wool, silk, nylon, etc. They are generally considered as the xenobiotic compounds, which are very recalcitrant to biodegradation. Sphingomonas paucimobilis, was isolated from the soil sample collected from contaminated sites of textile industry located in KsarHellal, Tunisia, and it was able to decolorize Malachite Green (MG) dye (50 mg/l) within 4 h under shaking condition (pH 9 and temperature 25A degrees C). The effect of inoculum size, dye concentration, temperature and initial pH of the solution were studied. The results obtained from the batch experiments revealed the ability of the tested bacteria to remove dye. UV-Vis spectroscopy and FTIR analysis of samples before and after decolorization confirmed the ability of the tested strain to decolorize MG. In addition, the phytotoxicity study revealed the degradation of MG into non-toxic product by S. paucimobilis.
