Supplementary Material
The supplementary material describes the isolation of autochthonous bacteria using different media plates (100% Soil extract media, 50% soil extract media, soil extract & nutrient broth media, nutrient agar media) (Table 1). Table 2 represents the formulation of different consortia. A consortium is a group of specific bacterial isolates which possesses the capability to degrade the components present in the wastewater. Different consortia were formulated randomly primarily on the basis of their morphology, color, size, shape and so forth. The file containing edited supplementary material is being uploaded along with these comments.
