The potential for Micromonospora spp. (Non Streptomyces Actinomycete) isolated from Vasant Sagar Dam, located in Sangli district of Maharashtra, was studied to decolorize dye wastewater from textile industry (Rem-Red and Rem-blue). Micromonospora spp. successfully decoulorised the textile wastewater containing two dyes, Rem-red and Rem-blue. Decolourisation studies were carried by inoculating intact cells and cellular extracts of Micromonospora spp. The maximum decolourisation was observed at pH 7.0 at five days incubation period at room temperature.

Abstract


The potential for Micromonospora spp. (Non Streptomyces Actinomycete) isolated from Vasant Sagar Dam, located in Sangli district of Maharashtra, was studied to decolorize dye wastewater from textile industry (Rem-Red and Rem-blue). Micromonospora spp. successfully decoulorised the textile wastewater containing two dyes, Rem-red and Rem-blue. Decolourisation studies were carried by inoculating intact cells and cellular extracts of Micromonospora spp. The maximum decolourisation was observed at pH 7.0 at five days incubation period at room temperature.
