Abstract

Development of new industries or expansion of existing industrial establishments resulted in the disposal of industrial effluents which discharge untreated causing air, water, soil and solid waste pollution and adversely affect biological growth. Endosulfan degrading bacterium was isolated from pesticide industrial effluent samples which collected from Ahmedabad (India) and its surrounding pesticide contaminated area. On the basis of morphological, cultural and biochemical test and 16s rRNA sequencing, the isolated strain was identified as Bacillus oceanisediminis, Tistrella mobilis, Parapusillimonas granulirespectively. From this result that the isolated bacteria could be used for the removal of residues of organochlorine in contaminated area.

Keywords: Industrial effluents, Pesticide Industries, Pollution, Endosulfan, Degradation.
