This investigation was aimed at studying reactive orange 16- (RO-16) dye biodegradation by the Antarctic yeast Candida sake 41E. Dye decolorization reached 94.3% (an initial 100 mg.l−1) within 48 h in a stirred-tank bioreactor at a specific decolorization rate of 0.09 mg.RO-16.g−1.h−1. The presence...
