Malachite green (MG), a widely-used and recalcitrant dye, has been confirmed to be carcinogenic and mutagenic against many organisms. Herein, we were aimed at the investigation of the hypothetic role of ligninolytic bacterial enzymes similar to fungal ones in the degradation of synthetic dyes. A multiple increase in the laccases and DyP-peroxidases genes expression level was recorded by RT-qPCR for bacteria of the genus Azospirillum in the presence of MG.
