Abstract

Actinobacteria are filamentous bacteria capable of a wide array of bioremediative potential. Although this group of microorganisms is lesser studied than fungi or other bacteria, the actinobacteria have been slowly revealed to be effective in removing dyes, metals, and in degrading hydrocarbons. In this chapter, the dye removal potential of actinobacteria will be discussed, particularly for the various species known to have this potential, and the mechanisms employed to remove the toxic dyes. Improvements and innovations to enhance dye removal potential for actinobacteria are also highlighted in this chapter.
