Anaerobic reduction of a sulfonated azo dye, Congo Red, by sulfate-reducing bacteria.

abstract：:Hydrogels are attractive biomaterials for three-dimensional cell culture and tissue engineering applications. The preparation of hydrogels using alginate and gelatin provides cross-linked hydrophilic polymers that can swell but do not dissolve in water. In this work, we first reinforced pure alginate by using polyoxye...
