In this study, we demonstrate the anaerobic extracellular reduction of an azo dye. Color removal was enhanced by the presence of yeast extract, which is an inexpensive source of the redox mediator riboflavin, and the optimized reductive conditions were established by multivariate experimental design.

The frontier orbital energy of α,α-ditert-butyl-4H-cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b']dithiophene (DBDT) and α,α-ditert-butyl-5H-cyclopenta[2,1-b,3;4-b']dithiophene S-oxide (DBDTO) bridged with CH2, C=S, and C=O revealed that the C=S and C=O bridge destabilized the HOMO, lowering the band gap.

The stability constants of the 1:1 complexes formed between M2+ (M2+: Mn2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, or Cd2+) and BMADA2- (BMADA: 2,2'-(5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidine-2,4 diyl)bis(azanediyl)dipropanoic acid) were determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution. In the M-BMADA complexes, the M ion is able to form a macrochelate via the pyrimidine group of BMADA.
