Vinod Jogdand, Shantikumar Gupta

Abstract :

 India is developing country. To fulfill the requirements of each individual from India, lot of attention had paid on the increased population of India. So there is need of increased modern  industrialization to fulfill the demands of people. Pharmaceutical industries are the prime industries in India, which produce tones of pharmaceutical products in each year. During the production of pharmaceutical products in industry huge amount of organic solvent such as n–hexane, methanol, butanol etc. were used to make drug concentrate. Residual concentration of these solvents are mixed in wastewater and discharged away from industry. These organic solvent are bioaggumented  and slowly turns in to biomagnified compound in nature. So there is immediate need to find out any solution for this problem. Bacterial isolates B.safensis, A.denitrificance and B.lichniformis tolerate 30 % (v/v) n–hexane concentration. Use of these potential of microorganisms to remediate such heavily loaded effluent is efficient and eco–friendly method.
