Environmental biotechnology is constantly enlarging its efforts in the biological treatment of textile effluents, which is an environmental friendly and low- cost alternative to physico-chemical decomposition processes. In the present study, effluent samples were collected from various textiles and dyeing industries located in Ahmedabad India and were exploited for the screening and isolation of bacterial strains that were capable of decolorizing the textile dye methylene blues. Physico-chemical properties of the effluent samples were analyzed. Six bacterial strains, methylene blue capable of decolorizing were screened and isolated from various effluent samples. Out of which, MB-P3 isolate (Enterobacter sp. Strain KR-28) exhibited maximum decolorization efficiency of 90% within 24 h of incubation. FTIR spectrum of 24 h extracted metabolites showed significant change in the positions of peaks, when compared to control dye spectrum, indicating the biodegradation of Methylene Blue.
