industrial effluents consist many pollutant and heavy metals. bacteria isolated from industrial west water ground may have potential to tolerate heavy metal. in this study we isolate a citrobacter sp. which can resist heavy metal like cu and pb. slurry from industrial west water ground was collected from 22.0663 n, 88.1041 e. the heavy metal content and other parameters of soil were estimated. ...

The pollution of the environment with toxic heavy metals is spreading throughout the world along with industrial progress. The present study deals with isolation, identification and characterization of heavy metal tolerant bacteria. Heavy metal tolerating bacteria was isolated from Mula river, Chinchwad, Pune, Maharashtra, India. On the basis of morphological, biochemical, 16S rDNA gene sequenc...

The present study was conceptualized to evaluate the heavy metal absorbing potential of microbes isolated from paper industry effluent. The effluent was used as the source sample, after screening morpho-metrically ten strains were cultured and sub cultured to achieve the pure discrete colonies. Out of ten discrete colonies two were found to have the heavy metal absorbing ability. These two bact...

Certain plants are known to accumulate heavy metals, and can be used in remediation of polluted soil or water. Plant-associated bacteria, especially those that are metal tolerant, may enhance the total amount of metal accumulated by the plant, but this process is still unclear. In this study, we investigated metal enhancement vs. exclusion by plants, and the phytoprotective role plant-associate...

This work aimed to evaluate density of associative diazotrophic bacteria populations in soil and grass root samples from heavy metal contaminated sites, and to characterize isolates from these populations, both, phenotypically (Zinc, Cadmium and NaCl tolerance in vitro, and protein profiles) and genotypically (16S rDNA sequencing), as compared to type strains of known diazotrophic species. Dens...
