Abstract

Excessive use of synthetic dyes by textile industries and its discharge to the nearby water bodies is a major concern for all environmentalists due to their low biodegradable nature and health problem like skin allergy, dermatitis, skin irritation and also has toxic, carcinogenic and mutagenic nature, it also lead to low water visibility. To solve this problem one species of algae was isolated from pond water. Oscillatoria inoculated in batch culture in shaking as well as stationery condition for fifteen days. The studies reveal the potential effect in dye degradation by degrading the color of textile dyes up to 95%.
