Abstract
Rapid industrialization has necessitated the produce and use of different chemicals in day to day life. Synthetic dyes have been used progressively more in industries because of their simplicity and low cost. Methyl orange is a carcinogenic water soluble azo dye which is widely used in textile industries. Textile dye effluent sample was collected from dying unit, Aruppukkottai town, India. The soil samples were stored in a clean screw cap bottles. The aim of the present research is the isolation of bacterial species from naturally dyes contaminated soil samples which have the ability to decolorize azo dyes used in textile industry dying unit. Pseudomonas sp. were isolated and identified biochemically. Our result suggest a great potential for Pseudomonas sp used to be remove color from dye waste water.
