Five indigenous lipolytic isolates, Staphylococcuspetrasii subsp. jettensis VSJK-R1, Staphylococcus epidermidis VSJK-R5, Acinetobacter junii VSJK-R6, Pseudomonas composti VSJK-R8 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa VSJK-R9 were screened for the production of bio-surfactant, out of which the isolates R6, R8 and R9 were found positive. The bacterial consortium containing these isolates showed degradation of Fats, Oils and Greases (FOG) in restaurantwastewatertotheextentof 73.126±4.588%, which was superior to Waste Water Microorganisms (WWM).
