The present invention relates to An aerobic method of removing Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) from tannery wastewaters using a bacterial strain of accession No MTCC 5097. The method reduces the TDS levels from both raw as well as electro floated tannery effluents. There is an approximately 11 % reduction in the TDS levels of electro floated tannery effluent and approximately 8.0% reduction in the raw effluent within a period of 48hours by a single bacterial isolate, which is definitely better than the earlier disclosed 15-day retention period for the consortium.
