Text Correction
There was an error in the original publication [1], in the introduction section and section on bacterial strains. The previous text in the introduction section, aims and objectives, and other sections after aims and objectives were not closely related to the editorial so were changed.
The correction was done accordingly:
In Section 1. Introduction, paragraph 7:
“Objectives of the Current Special Issue were:
- To use microorganisms for dyes bioremediation.
- To investigate the degradation potential of the microorganisms.
- To use microorganisms for environment cleanup.
- To investigate the removal of dyes through physical and chemical processes and the biological process.
- To find out the toxic nontoxic nature of the dye-degraded products.”
In Section 2. Selection of Bacterial Strains, title:
“2. Selection of the Specific Bacterial Strains”
In Section 3. Effect of Various Physiochemical Parameters on Dye Decolourization,
title and paragraph 1:
“3. Optimization of Degradation
The effect of various conditions such as dye concentration, pH, temperature, carbon and nitrogen supplementation, time, and aeration regimes on the decolourization efficiency were also analysed in this Special Issue. The percentage of decolourization was measured at 1-day intervals, as discussed earlier in this Special Issue.”
In Section 4. Decolourization of Dye in Optimum Conditions, title and paragraph 1:
“4. Degradation of Dye in Optimal Conditions
After determining the optimum conditions, further decolourization experiments were performed at optimum conditions. The percentage decolourization was measured at 1-day intervals. The degraded products formed by bacteria present in the solution were separated, and the Spectroscopic Analysis of the degraded products were performed by FTIR, GCMS, and HPLC.”
In Section 7. Further Treatment of the Dye Metabolites by Physical and Chemical
Processes, title:
“7. Further Treatment of the Dye-Degraded Products by Physical and Chemical
Processes”
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
