Abstract

The potential application of Lyngbya sp. BDU90901 for treatment of textile wastewater was investigated using different agrowastes namely sugarcane trash, corn waste, banana trunk fibre and ground nut shell. The mechanism trailed by cyanobacteria for colour removal was biosorption. Cyanobacteria Lyngbya sp. inoculated in textile effluent along with agrowastes survived and growth flourished with increased chlorophyll content of 106?g ml-1 inoculated with Ground nut shell on 10th day of cultivation. The decolourisation efficiency of Lyngbya sp. was found to be 79.48%.
