  Author(s): Shah M*Shah M*
  
  Different soil samples were collected from effluent treatment plants were used as a source for the isolation of 16 morphologically distinct bacteria capable of decolourising textile dye, Acid orange. Decolourisation assay was performed using two textile dyes - Acid oragne and emazol black to screen for high dye decolourising bacterial isolates. 5 Bacterial isolates showed high decolourisation of Acid orange and a consortium of these 5 colonies called A was developed. 3 Bacterial isolates showed high decolourisation of Remazol black and a consortium of these 3 isolates, B, was developed. The screened bacterial isolates were identified as Pseudomonas sp., Alcaligens sp., Rhodococcus sp., Stenotrophomonas sp., Proteobacterium sp., and Bacillus sp. by 16S rDNA analysis. A exhibited high decolourisation percentage of 200 mg/l of Acid orange in the presence of anhydrous sodium acetate under.. View More»
