Heavy Metal Tolerance of Novel Papiliotrema Yeast Isolated from Vietnamese Mangosteen

Heavy Metal Tolerance

ESTIMATION OF HEAVY METAL TOLERANCE AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Bacillus cereus ISOLATED FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE

With the intension to screen heavy metal tolerance and antibiotic susceptibility, a bacterium was isolated and characterized from municipal solid waste dumping yard (Dhapa), Kolkata, India. On the basis of biochemical and 16S rDNA sequence profile, it was identified as Bacillus cereus. Tolerance was observed against heavy metals like Cd, Co, Ni, Cr, Pb , Hg by this bacterium and was found that ...

Heavy Metal Tolerance of Sediment Bacteria Isolated from Coastal City (izmir,turkey)

In this study, it was aimed to determine of heavy metal resistance of bacterial isolates from coastal city sediment (Izmir Bay). Thirty isolates (Bacillus, Marinibacillus, Halobacillus) were identified by phylogenetic analysis and these strains were investigated in respect of the MICs of heavy metals (Hg, Cu, Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb). The MICs of heavy metals were different for each strain but the ge...

Heavy metal tolerance traits of filamentous fungi isolated from gold and gemstone mining sites

Increased environmental pollution has necessitated the need for eco-friendly clean-up strategies. Filamentous fungal species from gold and gemstone mine site soils were isolated, identified and assessed for their tolerance to varied heavy metal concentrations of cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), arsenic (As) and iron (Fe). The identities of the fungal strains were determined based on the in...

Heavy-Metal Tolerance and Antibiotic Susceptibility of Red Pigmented Bacteria Isolated from Marine Environment

This study was undertaken to determine heavy metal resistance and antibiotic susceptibility of three non-pathogenic red pigmented bacteria namely WPRA3, SM11-3j and SC-G18, isolated from marine environments of Malaysia. The bacteria isolates were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing and by biochemical and morphological tests. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of all isolates showed ≥96% similarity to Se...
