Degradation of various organic pollutants by bacteria has been proved to be an economical and environmentally friendly method. The key challenge in making these technologies widely available is their low degradation efficiency. Here, we report a composite membrane composed of graphene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol (GO-PVA) which can remarkably enhance the efficiency and rate of Shewanella bacteria to degrade Congo red (CR). The degradation efficiency of Shewanella bacteria alone on CR solution was about 42% at 72 h. After the addition of the GO-PVA membrane, the degradation efficiency reached to 91% at the degradation time at 36 h. The degradation efficiency of CR was increased by 2 times and the degradation rate was increased by 4 times in the presence of GO-PVA membrane and Shewanella bacteria compared to Shewanella bacteria alone. This indicates that the CR could be rapidly and completely degraded by increasing the input amounts of GO-PVA membrane in the process of Shewanella algae degradation of CR. Moreover, the GO-PVA membrane shows good recyclability and reusability. The biocatalysts performance of the GO-PVA membrane has not decreased after 10 cycles. Furthermore, the role of GO-PVA membrane in the degradation process and the degradation products of CR were discussed.
