Abstract

The aim of this work was to study the reduction of pollution load in the textile industry effluent by lipase producing Nocardiopsis alba. Nocardiopsis alba was isolated from the soap-stock of an oil refinery located in North Gujarat, India. Lipase 2 (EC 3.1.1.3) protein sequence was identified from Nocardiopsis alba and the 3D model was predicted by SWISS Modeling. Lipolytic Nocardiopsis alba showed 84 ± 0.3 %, 75 ± 0.4 %, and 81 ± 0.3 % reduction of Chemical Oxygen Demand, Biochemical Oxygen Demand and Total Solids, respectively when was grown in textile industrial wastewater at 37 ± 1 °C, 120 rpm for 15 days. The findings of this research offer potential environmental benefits along with socio-economic benefits as well if implemented suitably. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
