In this sense,Government legislation imposes strict regulating measures that compel industries to treat their waste effluents to increasingly high quality levels. During the past two decades, several decolourization techniques have been reported, few of which have been

treat effluents, the advantage of biological treatments over certain physico chemical treatment methods is that over 70% of the organic material present may be converted to biosolids. In this aspect, numerous bacteria capable of dye decolourization have been reported
