Abstract :

A study was carried out using marine cyanobacterium Oscillatoria subuliformis with coir pith for the reduction of physico-chemical parameters and simultaneous removal of heavy metals such as zinc, lead, mercury, cadmium, copper and chromium in textile effluent. Better result was shown in combined treatment using O. subuliformis along with coir pith when compared to control.
