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.
