ESTIMATION OF HEAVY METAL TOLERANCE AND ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY OF Bacillus cereus ISOLATED FROM MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 the bacterium was most tolerable to Cd and Cr compared to other four metals. Study of susceptibility of this bacterium was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of different antibiotics such as chloramphanicol, carbenicillin, tetracycline, erythromycin, ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin and maximum inhibition was observed by chloramphanicol and norfloxacin. A plasmid was isolated from the selected stain with MW of 45 kb. The plasmid curing experiment revealed that this plasmid was very essential for metal resistance power of the selected isolate.

BACKGROUND Many workers have reported halotolerant bacteria from saline conditions capable of protease production. However, antibiotic resistance and heavy metal tolerance pattern of such organisms is not documented very well. Similarly, only a few researchers have reported the pattern of pH change of fermentation medium during the course of protease production. In this study, we have isolated ...

Susceptibility patterns of 12 different antibiotics were investigated against rhizospheric bacteria isolated from Phragmites australis from three different zones i.e. upper (0-5 cm), middle (5-10 cm), lower (10-15 cm) in constructed wetland system with and without distillery effluent. The major pollutants of distillery effluent were phenols, sulphide, heavy metals, and higher levels of biologic...
