Isolationidentification of microbes -Treatment of hospital wastewater

Wastewater or sewage from a typical household includes discharges from toilets sinks baths showers washing machines and dish - washers or from any other similar sources. But the sewage or wastewater from a hospital is entirely different from the household sewage. Selected microbial species present in the wastewater of hospitals are capable of degrading phenol at a lower concentration. At higher concentrations phenols inhibit the microbial growth. In order to protect microorganisms from being damaged by such factors barriers are established between the microbes and the toxins by following the technique of microbial cell immobilization.
