Textile industry is one of the oldest and
largest industries of India. Synthetic dyes
are coloring agents mainly used in textile
industries which generate a huge amount of
wastewater in the process of dyeing. It is
estimated that these industries discharge
around 280,000 tons of dyes worldwide
every year into the environment (Tom Sinoy
et al., 2011). Discharge of these colored
effluents into rivers and lakes results in
reduction of dissolved oxygen
concentration, thus creating anoxic
condition and leading to the acute toxic
effects on the flora and fauna of the
ecosystem. In addition to being aesthetically
displeasing, the release of colored effluents
in water bodies reduces the photosynthesis
as it impedes penetration of light in water
(Slokar and Le Marechal, 1998; Strickland
and Perkins, 1995).
