It is estimated that between 60 and 70% of the dyes used in these sectors are synthetic, which offer great versatility, a low cost, and a broad spectrum of colors, making them indispensable in many sectors. Among these synthetic dyes, azo dyes stand out due to their excellent chromophoric properties, structural stability, and ease of synthesis. However, these compounds are considered xenobiotics with a strong recalcitrant potential. This review article comprehensively examines the biodegradation potential of azo contaminants by microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, microalgae, and consortia, using the PRISMA 2020 methodology. In this regard, this study identified 720 peer-reviewed articles on this topic that are outstanding. The analysis of these studies focused on the effect of parameters such as pH, temperature, and exposure time, as well as the enzymatic degradation pathways associated with the degradation efficiency of these contaminants. For example, the results identified that microorganisms such as Meyerozyma guilliermondii, Trametes versicolor, Pichia kudriavzevi, Chlorella vulgaris, and Candida tropicalis possess significant potential for degrading azo dyes (up to 90%). This degradative efficiency was attributed to the high enzymatic activity that cleaves the azo bonds of these contaminants through specialized enzymes, such as azoreductases, laccases, and peroxidases. Furthermore, the results highlight synergistic effects or metabolic cooperation between species that enhance the biodegradation of these contaminants, suggesting an eco-friendly alternative for environmental remediation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms26167973","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,18]],"date-time":"2025-08-18T16:22:33Z","timestamp":1755534153000},"page":"7973","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Systematic Evaluation of Biodegradation of Azo Dyes by Microorganisms: Efficient Species, Physicochemical Factors, and Enzymatic Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Domingo Cesar","family":"Carrascal-Hern\u00e1ndez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica y Biolog\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias B\u00e1sicas, Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla 080020, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erney Jos\u00e9","family":"Orozco-Beltr\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n de Fotoqu\u00edmica y Fotobiolog\u00eda, Programa de Qu\u00edmica, Universidad del Atl\u00e1ntico, Carrera 30 No. 8\u201349, Puerto Colombia 081007, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9662-9505","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Insuasty","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica y Biolog\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias B\u00e1sicas, Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla 080020, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7503-1528","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edgar","family":"M\u00e1rquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Qu\u00edmica y Biolog\u00eda, Facultad de Ciencias B\u00e1sicas, Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla 080020, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6243-4571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carlos David","family":"Grande-Tovar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Grupo de Investigaci\u00f3n de Fotoqu\u00edmica y Fotobiolog\u00eda, Programa de Qu\u00edmica, Universidad del Atl\u00e1ntico, Carrera 30 No. 8\u201349, Puerto Colombia 081007, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1723","DOI":"10.1016\/j.procbio.2012.08.014","article-title":"Microbial Decolouration of Azo Dyes: A Review","volume":"47","author":"Manjarrez","year":"2012","journal-title":"Process Biochem."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"350","DOI":"10.1139\/a11-018","article-title":"Azo Dyes: Past, Present and the Future","volume":"19","author":"Bafana","year":"2011","journal-title":"Environ.
