i am working on phytoremediation of textile dyes. i have done suspension culture containing dye to see degradation of dye by plant and checking the absorbance everyday but the problem is the suspension is becoming turbid after 7th day. can anyone help me to find out the reason.
If light is reaching solution with nutrients and dye, algae may develop and cause turbidity. I don’t know enough about dyes to know if as being broken down or combining in clarification, particles in suspension may be increasing and more evident. You might want to look at the particulate changes with the proper type of microscope and identify what they are. Certain bacteria or other organisms may also reflect light.
I think turbidity is caused by the growth of bacteria in the culture Or because of the decomposition of dyes.
