The local industrial dye waste water sample was collected from Final Effleunt Treatment Plant (FETP) of Ankelshwar, Gujarat, India for the isolation of dye degrading bacteria. The isolate ETL-1979 was selected based on its maximum decolorization of dyes Methyl orange, Congo red and Malachite green (each 150 mg/L). Phenotypic characterization and phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence confirmed ETL-1979 as Bacillus sp. On physiochemical parameters optimization, Bacillus sp. ETL-1979 degraded 10.13% (0.15 mg/mL), 11.76% (0.11 mg/ mL) and 9.32% (0.8 mg/mL) of Methyl orange, Congo red and Malachite green, respectively within 2 h, whilst 100% degradation (2.97 mg/mL) at 18 h for Methyl orange, 100% (2.43 mg/mL) at 16 h for Congo red and 100% (3.18 mg/mL) at 20 h for Malachite green were recorded. The degraded products were found non-toxic in nature, while bacterial cells showed elongation and membrane rupturing under SEM taken from dye degraded media.
