ABSTRACT:
As industrial pollution has been continues to be a major factor causing the degradation of the
environment around us affecting the water, soil and air; Microbial technology proves to be a
critical tool to combat the problem of Industrial waste management. The study is conducted
to identify potential microorganisms having ability to degrade industrial water pollutants
originated from sugar, textile and chemical industries. The contaminated site near sugar,
textile and chemical industries were selected as a source of such microorganisms. Cow dung
were also selected as natural source for obtaining such microorganisms. The biodegradability
of industrial effluent were studied with respect to various parameters like pH, Chemical
Oxygen Demand, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Total Dissolved Solids and Total
Suspended Solids. Total 12 different isolates were obtained that aids in treatment of
industrial effluent. The identification of isolates was carried out using morphological,
colonial and biochemical characterization. Isolates no. 5A, 17Band 4C shows highest
activity for biodegradation of tested effluent. Even antibiotic susceptibility assay has also
been carried out to know that the isolated organisms were sensitive to several antibiotics or
not. Raw and treated effluent were used for bioassay using Vignaradiata as indicator depicts
