Abstract: Textile industries were the major source of environmental pollution In terms of quality as well as quantity. The textile industries consume rich amount of water (200 m³/ton of product) out of which around 90% is appeared as wastewater. Textile dye effluents contain dye as the major pollutants which were not only recalcitrant but also imparts intense colour to the waste effluent. Bacteria were isolated from textile dye effluents. Morphological and biochemical characterization was done to identify isolates and was found to be Serratia liquefaciens in preliminary. The identification of bacteria was confirmed by 16S rRNA sequencing. They were identified as S. liquefaciens. The sequences were deposited in NCBI and accepted the accession number was KU041531. The present investigation was conducted to identification and genetic characterisation of S. liquefaciens.
