“…It is well recognized that microorganisms can remove both soluble and particulate forms of inorganic and organic chemicals including heavy metals from industrial effluents by a variety of mechanisms . These study results of effluent characterization attest this and are shown in Tab.…”

“…Reduction of heavy metal concentration like Cu, Cd, Fe, Cr, Ni were observed in the treated effluent as compared to the untreated effluent. The removal of metals such as Cu, Zn, Ni, Cd, Sn, Hg, Mn in amounts higher than the nutritional requirement was observed due to the active mode that is either by metabolic activities of the microorganisms or by the passive mode that is biosorption of these heavy metals from the effluents by the microorganism .…”

This investigation is aimed to reduce the pollution and ecotoxicological impact of the paper and pulp industry effluent by Rhodococcus sp. NCIM 2891. It was observed that the Rhodococcus sp. NCIM 2891, when grown in the presence of the effluent, there was a significant decrease in levels of biological oxygen demand (81.25%) 30 mg/L and chemical oxygen demand (53.23%) 363 mg/L as compared to untreated samples with 160 and 776 mg/L, respectively. Reduction in total dissolved solids could be observed (81%) along with reduction in heavy metal concentration. Further analysis of the degraded effluent compounds was carried out by atomic absorption spectroscopy. The eco-compatibility of the effluent and degraded product was checked in terms of their toxicity on Allium cepa, Acantopsis choirorhynchus, and different microorganisms. The degraded products obtained after biodegradation are found to be eco-compatible and non-toxic.Abbreviations: BOD, biological oxygen demand; COD, chemical oxygen demand; DNPH, 2,4-dinitrophenyl hydrazine; FW, fresh weight; MDA, malondialdehyde; NBT, nitro blue tetrazolium; ROS, reactive oxygen species; RRG, relative root growth; SOD, super oxide dismutase 456
