In this study the physicochemical and microbiological analysis was carried out from effluent discharge of metal processing industriesThe results of the physicochemical analysis were obtained in the following range; pH (8.8-10.2), BOD (456.56-1931.48 mg/ L), COD (585.42-1967.51 mg/ L), TDS ( 23.34- 894.56 mg/L), TSS (63.67- 243.45 mg /L), DO (7.3 – 13.5), Oil & grease (7.6 – 21.6 mg/l) and Total coliform count was >100. The microbiological analysis total of 6 industrial effluents samples was collected from various industries, and a total of 42 isolates were obtained among these isolates Achromobacter sp. (8), predominantly obtained followed by Bacillus sp. (5), Shigella sp. (7), Salmonella sp. (7), Pseudomonas sp. (5), Corynebacterium sp. (3), Staphylococcus sp. (3), Proteus sp. (2), Exigoubacterium sp. (1) and Microbacterium (1). The study can be further extended to investigate the utility of the bacterial isolates recovered in the present study in the bioremediation of metal processing industrial effluents.
