Synthetic chemicals have been widely used as dyes by the textile industries. Since a large amount of different dyes are used by textile industries, wastewater discharged out of them poses a threat to the surroundings. These dyes enter into the surrounding water bodies in the form of colored wastewater, unless degraded properly. Micro organisms have the ability to convert colored dyes to non-colored liquid under defined environmental conditions. In this study, dye degradation ability for mixed consortia (Bacterial and fungal) of Pseudomonas putida and Phanerocheate chrysosporium is studied for synthetic dye Reactive Red 198. Results show that mixed consortia of Pseudomonas putida and Phanerocheate chrysosporium has an efficiency of 91% in decolorization and 87% in COD removal within 3 days of dynamic condition. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
