Biosorption of heavy metal polluted soil using bacteria and fungi isolated from soil

Abstract: Heavy metals polluted soils have turned out to be a common environmental problem across the globe due to their toxic effects and accumulation through the food chain. Heavy metals have lethal effects on all forms of life. For instance, plants grown on heavy metal polluted soil show a reduction in growth and yields. A surge in anthropogenic activities and industrial operations has substantially increased the level of heavy metal pollution and release into the environment; hence, there is need to remediate these … Show more

“…Different genera of bacteria belonging to Bacillus , Pseudomonas , Micrococcus , Streptococcus , Staphylococcus , and Enterobacter have been successfully used as biosorbent for heavy metal in soil and water (Oyewole et al, 2019). Bacteria derived products like EPS (exopolysaccharides) are mainly acidic, containing hydroxyl, phosphoryl, sulfide, carboxyl, and amide groups and have the affinity to bind metals in soil (Bramhachari & Nagaraju, 2016).…”

“…Bioavailable fractions of heavy metals in the soil easily accumulate in flora and fauna, causing irreparable damage to the ecosystem. Although small quantities of metals like Co, Cu, Fe, Ni, and Zn are required for normal plant growth, higher concentrations reduce soil fertility and agricultural productivity (Oyewole et al, 2019). Some metals like As, Cr, Pb, Cd, Hg, and U are very toxic even at low concentrations.…”

“…Thus, some microbes may play a vital role in the biogeochemical cycling of toxic heavy metals and also in cleaning up metal contamination [21,22]. A lot of studies have explored the applicability of microorganisms in ameliorating heavy metal contamination and some were found to be exciting [23,26]. This led to the development of some biotechnological processes for remediation of polluted environments tagged as bioaccumulation and biosorption [26,27].…”

This led to the development of some biotechnological processes for remediation of polluted environments tagged as bioaccumulation and biosorption [26,27]. Bioaccumulation is a process that involves the uptake and removal of environmental pollutants (both organic and inorganic) by microorganisms.…”
