Using Rhodobacter sphaeroides for the bioremediation of water bodies, contaminated with sewage and domestic waste.
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering and Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a potent bioremedial agent with diverse metabolic powers. An attempt was therefore made to evaluate its effectiveness in improving the physico-chemical quality of river Yamuna (at Mathura, India), which is grossly polluted with sewage and domestic waste. A common species of Rhodobacter (i.e., Rhodobacter sphaeroides) was used as bioremedial agent. Certain parameters for the assessment of quality of effluents were considered, including pH, BOD, nitrates, sulphates, phosphate and ammonia). Parameters were tested before, during and after the bioremedial treatment with Rhodobacter sphaeroides. A comparison amongst three stages of testing was made, which has been of great help in assessing the bioremedial impact of Rhodobacter. The results of the study indicate that Rhodobacter sphaeroides is a potent bioremedial agent in improving the quality of natural water bodies.
