The main objective of this investigation is to detoxify the water insoluble dyes like Vat Blue 66
which is other very difficult to decolorize. Wastewater from the textile and other dyestuff industries contain
significant amount of synthetic dyes that require prior treatment to prevent groundwater contamination upon
being discharged. The microbial decolorization and degradation of dyes has been of considerable interest
biological treatment of the wastewater containing dyes. Pseudomonas desmolyticum NCIM 2112 and Bacillus
megatherium NCIM 2087 was able to decolorize indole based dye Vat Blue 66 at pH 9, at 25oC. The addition
of glucose and yeast extract in the medium enhanced decolorization process. In this investigation, it has been
found that the decolorization of this dye was 70% on an average by oxidative degradation by Pseudomonas
desmolyticum NCIM 2112 and Bacillus megaterium NCIM 2087. The decolorization was measured as the
decrease in absorbance maxima at 530 nm.
Key words: Bacillus megaterium, dye decolorization, Pseudomonas desmolyticum, textile, Vat dyes, Vat Blue 66, wastewater
