Abstract: A p-aminobenzoic acid-producing microorganism is provided. The p-aminobenzoic acid-producing microorganism is obtained by a method for preparing a p-aminobenzoic acid-producing microorganism. The method for preparing a p-aminobenzoic acid-producing microorganism includes (a) performing an acclimation process on a source microorganism with at least one sulfonamide antibiotic to obtain at least one acclimatized microorganism and (b) screening out at least one p-aminobenzoic acid-producing microorganism from the at least one acclimatized microorganism, wherein the at least one p-aminobenzoic acid-producing microorganism has a higher p-aminobenzoic acid titer than the source microorganism.

Abstract: A dye for a material with amide functional groups and a dyeing method of using the same are provided. The dye includes a compound represented by Formula (I) and a solvent. Based on the total weight of the dye of 100 wt %, a content of the compound represented by Formula (I) is 40 wt % to 95 wt %. In Chemical Formula (I), R1, R2 and R3 are each independently H, —OH or —COOH, wherein at least one of R1, R2 and R3 is —OH or —COOH.

Abstract: A dyeing method includes immersing a fiber into a dye for dyeing the fiber, in which the dye includes indigo and indirubin, and the indigo and the indirubin have a weight ratio of 20:1 to 80:1. The indigo in the dye has a concentration of 0.1% o.w.f. to 5% o.w.f. The dyed fiber may simultaneously have high luminance, high color saturation, high strength of colorization, and sufficient colorfastness.
