Petrochemical Industry manufacturing petrochemical product-generate waste containing organic compounds. As the toxicity level of most of these compounds is high, there is an increasing demand for remediation of such sites that involves removal of the offending compounds. Bioremediation uses living systems or biological products to biodegrade waste, with the objective being reduction of waste to chemical forms that can be assimilated into natural cycles. In the present study, the use of micro-organism for bioremediation has been carried out. The effluent outlet samples from industrial waste treatment site of the organic compound (toluene) producing industry were collected and assessed for physico-chemical and microbial characterization. Biodegradation studies using microbial consortia obtained after characterization of samples were observed. Bioremediation has proven to be an effective tool in the reduction of environmental contaminants but can rarely restore the affected environment back to its original condition.
