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.

The ocean covers over 70% of the earth's surface and contains an extraordinary diversity of life. Our interest in understanding the function of marine ecosystems has been accelerated in recent years with growing recognition of their importance in human life. Marine microbes have defined the chemistry of the oceans and atmosphere over evolutionary time. Thousands of different species of bacteria, fungi and viruses exist in marine ecosystems comprising complex microbial food webs. These microorganisms play highly diverse roles in ecology and biochemistry of most different ecosystems. In the...
