Microbial Decolorization and Degradation of Textile Dye

Indiscriminate disposal of textile effluent into water bodies cause major threat to the environment. The present study suggests a great potential of bacteria to remove color from the dye waste. By using enrichment culture technique bacterial isolate were obtained from the industrial effluent treatment plant from Ankleshwar, among these the culture which has better efficiency for dye decolorization under natural environmental conditions was selected. Effect of physicochemical factors on the efficiency of such bacterial isolates was also studied.
