Biodecolorization of batik wastewater by lactobacillus delbrueckii / Siti Zuraida Mohamad

Water is the most precious natural resource and it is impossible to live without it.However, the potential beneficial uses of water are lost due to changes in its composition as a result of human activity especially from industrial effluents. It is estimated about 22% of the total volume of industri...
