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%.
