Abstract:

The current study was focus on development of thermophilic sulphate reducing consortium (TSRC) enriched from Tuva Timba and Dholera hot springs of Gujarat. TSRC were enriched by growing them Medium77, Sulphate API broth, Starkey`s sulphate reducing medium and Sulphate reducing medium. The developed TSRC kit were used to sulphate reduction from the dye industry effluent. Currently chemical process for sulphidogenesis is very expensive and hence the above mentioned consortium is economically viable, easy to handle and environment friendly. In short the process works on removal of the sulphate from the effluent through biosulphidogenesis. TSRC based kits are developed and tested successfully on industrial effluent. Enriched TSRC showed the presence of 18 genera of sulphate reducing bacteria. So, the TSRC based kit will be used for bioremediation process efficiently.


Keywords: Hot spring, sulphate reducer, bacteria, biosulphidogenesis
