Abstract

Azo dyes are the most important and widely used dyes in various industries. This group of pollutants is a threat to aquatic life. In the present study, the effect of three different concentrations (0, 10, 20mg/L) of the basic red 46, (BR46) on the physiological characteristics of aquatic fern Salvinia natans was evaluated at the 7-day treatment period. Also, the ability of S. natans for bioremoval of BR46 was evaluated. The results showed that chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll content, despite chlorophyll b, decreased at 20mg/L concentration. At 20 mg/L of BR46, relative growth rate and effect index decreased and increased, respectively. Total carotenoid concentration was increased by 72% at 20mg/L. Cyanidine glycoside concentration, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant activity increased in the presence of 10 and 20 mg/L of BR46. On day 7th, the highest bioremoval efficiency was observed in the presence of 20mg/L BR46. Thus, S. natans has the ability to remove BR46 from contaminated water but the presence of both 10 and 20mg/L of dye induced antioxidant activity and the risk of oxidative stress for S. natans.
