Enrichment and identification of bacteria capable of reducing chemical oxygen demand of anaerobically treated molasses spent wash

Aims:  The aim of this study was to isolate and identify bacterial strains capable of using recalcitrant compounds of molasses spent wash as sole carbon source from the soils of abandoned sites of distillery effluent discharge and characterize their ability of reducing the chemical oxygen demand (COD) of the spent wash.
