Abstract

The present subject-matter provides a microbial consortium for improving the synthetic dye degradation efficiency of effluent treatment plants in wastewater, in particular wastewater generated from textile industries, printing industries or other dye wastewater industries and a method thereof. The consortium comprises either a sole microorganism or a synergistic combination of selective microorganisms to develop a consortium enabling for effective degradation of synthetic dyes present in wastewater and con- verting thereof into harmless and environment friendly substances. The invention also provides for the said microorganisms and their isolations.
