Abstract

Development of science has taken over our lives and made it mandatory to live with science. The synthetic technology takes more than it has given for our welfare. The process of meeting the demand of the consumers, industries supported the synthetic products to meet the same. Textile industry is one among them which uses synthetic dyes to dye fabrics. The end result of the process is the production of fabrics resistant to physical, chemical and biological stresses. The process not only meets the consumers demands it also consumes customers health by polluting the environment. The pre-treated or non-treated textile dyes released into the environment requires effective treatment process. Bioremediation, an eco-friendly method is a broad spectrum which includes—microbial remediation, enzymatic remediation, phyto-remediation, phyco-remediation and bioreactors -. The current review focuses on the microbial, enzymatic and bioreactor remediation of textile dye contaminated effluents. This is the need of the hour to restore the healthy and sustainable environment.
