Abstract
Dairy is one of the industries producing wastewater rich in organic
matter and thus leading to creation of odorous and high COD
containing effluent. Bio-treatment leading to bioconversion of the
waste materials is probably the most cost-effective technique for
managing and utilizing waste. The removal of organic matter from
the waste water using chemicals is used in many industrial wastes,
and these methods are more expensive than the bio treatment
method. Also the chemical methods may cause further
contaminations to the environment. Hence, the process of seeding
inoculation of microorganisms for degrading waste materials in
streams, rivers and treatment tanks has been rapidly increasing
practice in many countries. The present project aimed at surveying
treated effluent of dairy plants of Gujarat and isolating prominent
bacteria which can be used for reduction of COD.
