Application of Extremophilic Microorganisms in Decolorization and Biodegradation of Textile Wastewater

Abstract

The release of colored wastewater from textile industries in the ecosystem has been a great environmental as well as public health concern over the decades. Textile industry is a promising market due to the customer’s increasing demand for new products. To fulfill these demands, textile industries are using selective dyestuffs among 100,000 different commercially available dyes (Husain in Crit Rev Biotechnol 26:201–221, 2006).
