Efficient Biological Decolorization of Malachite Green by Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12: Process Optimization and Degradation Pathway Analysis.
Article in Current microbiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Malachite green (MG) is a toxic triphenylmethane dye widely used in industry, as well as a controversial antimicrobial in aquaculture, leading to environmental concerns. In this study, the conditions for the decolorization of MG by Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12 were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, a degradation efficiency of 99.30% was achieved for 200 mg/L MG within 30 min, with an initial biomass concentration of 5.5 g/L at 32 °C and pH 5.0. When the initial concentration of MG was increased to 1 g/L, the degradation efficiency surpassed 97% after 2.5 h. Analytical techniques, including UV-VIS, FTIR, GC-MS, and LC-MS analyses revealed that the degradation products included desmethyl-malachite green, di-desmethyl-malachite green, 4-(dimethylamino)benzophenone, and 4-(methylamino)benzophenone, indicating that the MG degradation mechanism of R12 was based on oxidation and demethylation processes. Furthermore, microbial assays confirmed that the byproducts of MG degradation by R12 are much less toxic than the parent compound, indicating the potential of Deinococcus wulumuqiensis R12 as an effective bioremediation agent for MG-contaminated environments.
