CHARACTERIZATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF SELECTED NEMATODES FOR INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENT WATER TREATMENT
ZANKHANA R. PANDIT*, ASTHA BARIA, LINZ-BUOY GEORGE, HYACINTH HIGHLAND
Abstract:
Soil samples collected from different agricultural fields were examined for the existence of nematodes. Five different plant-parasitic nematodes species, i.e. Rotylenchus, Ditylenchus, Dorylaimoides and Trichodorus sp. and free living nematodes, i.e. Acrobeles were identified. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) were cultivated on modified Nematode Growth Media (NGM) plates to select the most suitable species for treatment of industrial effluent water collected from waste water treatment plant (WWTP) outlet from Vasna. The positive or negative effect of effluent water on the survival of PPN was then calculated by measuring their Maturity Index (MI). From the results obtained, Dorylaimoides sp. was selected for further studies.
