Potential of Arthrobacter nicotiniae to Preferentially Remove Lead, Cadmium, Silver and Zinc from Contaminated Soil from Amaonye-Ishiagu Agricultural Forest, Ebonyi State, Nigeria

This study evaluates the potential of Arthrobacter nicotiniae to preferentially remove lead, cadmium, silver and zinc from contaminated soil Amaonye-ishiagu Agricultural Forest, Ebonyi State, Nigeria using standard methods. The revealed optimum values factor as 8ml nutrient volume, 5g organism, 30oC temperature, pH 8 stirring frequency 4pw. showed 79.78% removal 61.50% 48.59% arsenic 7.04% on 35th day. organism is thus good for lead cadmium pollution control, abatement but it neither nor abatement.
