Abstract

Isolation and characterization of dye degrading bacteria from textile dye effluents

Author(s): N. Sriram* and D. Reetha

Textile dye industry waste is one of the most serious problems in the environment. The dye wastes are severely deleterious to surface water bodies. The present study was an attempt for the assessment of different physicochemical parameters such as pH, temperature, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Solids (TS), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Dissolved Oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total alkalinity, Total hardness and Chloride content. Therefore, the textile dye effluent degradation was herculean task because the textile effluents contain complex chemicals, highly toxic compounds and heavy metals. The experiment was carried out to degrade the dye effluents by using bacterial isolates from textile dye effluents. Five different bacterial isolates such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens and Escherichia coli, were screened and they have capability to degrade and decolorize the textile dye effluents.
