  ABSTRACT: Physicochemical properties and metal contents of five dye-based textile effluents collected in summer and winter season, 2016 from Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh were within the recommended acceptable limit. The average value of all physicochemical parameters was found high in summer season except turbidity. A total of 94 heavy metal resistant bacteria (46 gram positive & 48 gram negative) were isolated from textile effluent samples and among them 17 isolates were multi metal resistant. Highest tolerance level of the isolates was shown at 10 mM concentration against Pb. All the heavy metal resistant bacterial isolates were presumably grouped into 14 genera according to morphological and biochemical assay. Three isolates designated WFB3c (65.41%), WFB4g (62%) and SFB5c (60.07%) were found to potentially degrade dye as well as tolerate heavy metals. Three potential dye decolorizer isolates were screened out and most potential one (WFB3c) was identified as Proteus mirabilis according to the 16S rRNA identification. The isolated bacterial strain Proteus mirabilis would be a potential candidate for microbes based treatment to decolorize dye from textile effluents.
