ABSTRACT
The Research was focussed on the effectiveness of a bacterial consortium to the bioremediation of industrial
waste water containing dye textiles blue Remazol, in which it has successfuly been done. The aim of this study
was to determine the effectiveness of consortium of bacteria on bioremediation of textile waste water which
contains Remazol blue dye. The process was to clearly find out how the bacterial consortium’s capability in
degrading the textile industry wastewater in which the blue dye Remazol is contained. The research was carried
out experimentally using Randomized Complete Block and some factorial treatments. These two treatment
factors comprises of two types, they are: a). The type of microbial consortium consisting of the Consortium of
Bacillus coagulans, B. pumilus, B. subtilis, and Nitrosomonas sp.; consortium of bacteria Bacillus licheniformis,
B. pumilus, B. subtilis, Pseudomonas putida, and Nitrosomonas sp and a consortium of Paenibacillus
amylolyticus bacteria, Nitrosomonas, B. circulans, and B. pumilus and b). The factor of the consentration of
Remazol blue on industrial wastewater. This particular textile wastewater containing Remazol blue with
concentrations in which containing 200 ppm, 1000 ppm and 2500 ppm. The parameters of the study was BOD
(Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), TSS (Total Suspended Solid) and
decolorization efficiency. The data has been analyzed quantitatively. The results have shown that Bacillus
coagulans, B. pumilus, B. subtilis, and Nitrosomonas sp. became the most effective consortium in degrading
remazol blue in textile wastewaster. The evidence revealed that the higher concentration of remazol blue on
wastewater, the smaller degradation effectiveness was resulted by the consortium. The consortium of Bacillus
coagulans, B. pumilus, B. subtilis, and Nitrosomonas sp. was able to degrade textile industrial wastewater with a
maximum concentration of remazol blue up to 2500 ppm and the bacterial consortium was able to decolorize of
Remazol blue that reaching to 84.9%; reducing the levels of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) to 57.9%;
reducing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) of 37.7%; and finally reducing Total Suspended Solid (TSS) more
or less of 52%.
Keywords: Bioremediation; industrial wastewater; remazol blue; bacteria consortium; dye.
