DECOLOURIZATION OF REACTIVE DYES USING BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM TEXTILE DYE EFFLUENT
Journal Title: Asian J of Pharm Sci & Tech - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
ABSTRACT The Bacillus licheniformis and Pseudomonas putida were isolated from Industrial effluent and was tested for decolorization activity against commercially important dyes such Reactive red 195, Reactive Yellow 17, Reactive Orange 72 and Reactive Blue 36. In solid medium, the maximum level of clearance was registered in Pseudomonas putida against Reactive Blue 36 (40.40±0.43 mm) and in the liquid medium, Bacillus licheniformis gave maximum decolourization against reactive yellow 17 (91.73±0.64 %). This study recommended the application of the two most potent bacterial strains in the decolorization of the reactive dyes. Key words: Biodecolourization, Reactive dyes, Bacillus licheniformis, Pseudomonas putida.
