Dyes are usually difficult to be decolorized due to their complex chemical structures. In this work, a bacterium which had the ability of decoloration on synthetic dyes was isolated from Yancheng printworks and was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The effects of concentration of the dye concentration, cultural time, cultural temperature and initial pH of cultural medium on the efficiency of decoloration were investigated. The result showed that the optimal cultural conditions was: dye concentration was 50mg.L-1, cultural time was 72 h, cultural temperature was 28°C, initial pH of cultural medium was 7.0.
