Control of water pollution by Natural processes such as bioremediation has been found to be ecofriendly and economic. Such processes convert hazardous compounds into innocuous products in a most effective way. Suitable microbes initiate various physical and chemical reactions in polluted water resulting in degradation and removal of pollutants. Sugar-industry consume large quantities of water for various processes and discharge equally large volumes of waste waters containing variety of pollutants and colouring matter. In the present study, attempt has been made to bring about bioremediation of sugar mill effluent collected from "Braj Kishore Singh Champaran Kisan SSK Ltd., Chorma, Pakridayal, East Champaran" sugar mill. The samples of effluent water were tested for the individual bioremedial efficiency of native fungi present. Three fungi namely, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp and Fusarium sp were identified and selected for this bioremedial study. All the three were known to bring about bioremediation which had been confirmed by measuring the % of reduction potential in pH, EC, TDS, OD, BOD, COD and increase in fungal growth. Maximum degrading potential has been observed in the case of Aspergillus niger.
