The humongous load on the environment due to the expulsion of textile dye wastewater has always been a major issue.
Significantly, the dye is present in the wastewater due to its complex chemical structure, making it a recalcitrant pollutant.
Therefore, becoming highly noxious to flora and fauna of the aquatic ecosystems and crop plants. Due to the low
biodegradability, dyes are carcinogenic and mutagenic to plants and human beings. Various physicochemical strategies to treat
textile effluent have been used, but because of several drawbacks, they are not implemented by most industries. Microbial
decolorization is more eco-compatible and economical as it does not produce any intermediate by-products. Also, it can
mineralize the dyes completely and efficiently.
