title: Dye-metabolizing bacteria isolated from effluents of textile industry
organism: wastewater metagenome
description: Twelve dye-metabolizing bacteria were isolated from effluents of Master Textile Mill situated at Lahore, Pakistan. Bacteria were capable of degrading disperse blue dye. For the purpose of isolation, effluent was used as inoculum and added to minimal salt medium supplemented with disperse-blue dye as the sole source of carbon. Enrichment culture experiments followed by serial dilution resulted in isolation of twelve dye-metabolizing bacteria.
