  Author(s): Tarequl Islam*, Md. Saifur Rahman and Md. Saddam Hussain
  
  Background: Textile Industries are the major sector for social and economic perspective in Bangladesh that discharge huge number of dye stuff containing recalcitrant compounds, pigments and dye etc. into the water. Aim: The aim of this study is to isolate and identify the textile dye degrading bacteria from textile effluents and evaluation of their heavy metals resistant pattern. Methods and Materials: All the samples were collected from 8 distinct dye industry related places in Narayanganj District of Bangladesh. The isolated bacteria was characterized and identified by using cultural and biochemical techniques. The decolorization of dye was measured using spectrophotometer and the MIC of isolated bacteria against selected heavy metals’ salts was also determined by serial dilution method. Only 12 ba..
