Abstract:

Microbes with their versatile abilities can potentially be used for the treatment of various industrial e uents; for removal or degradation of variety of harmful substances present inside them which would otherwise have severe detrimental impacts on terrestrial and aquatic environment, if discharged untreated. This article sums up the use of various microbes for treatment of several industrial e uents like industrial e uents from dyes, pesticide, plastic etc. The use of bacteria in dye industries can remove colors present in the wastewater, up to 100% in just 1 hour, if used as consortium. Plastic industrial e uents can also be treated by microbes, especially by forming bio lms. The article contains information about the selective use of these microbes coupled with different processes and highlights the best results achieved, without the addition of any chemical which might end up turning into a pollutant for the environment.
