In order to obtain a high-performance bacterial decolorization, Malachite Green (commonly used
triphenylmethane dye) was chosen for the screening of dye degrading bacteria.

Malachite green (MG), which is one of the
triphenylmethane dyes, is widely used in aquaculture to prevent fungal infections and kill parasites due to its low price.
