“…These are often the Gram-positive Elsilk et al (2014) isolated Bacillus anthracis PS2010, which has variable resistance to heavy metals such as Cd, Cu, Co, Zn and Pb, while Banerjee et al (2015), utilising the serial dilution technique in nutrient medium, isolated B. cereus and B. subtilis. These isolates are resistant to a number of metals -Pb, Hg, Ni, Co, Cu and M (Banerjee et al, 2015). Then, Ansari et al (2016), in their study, isolated from soil six bacteria: Alcaligenes sp.…”

A b s t r a c t. The aim of the study was to assess the differences in the bacterial community physiological profiles in soils contaminated with heavy metals versus soils without metal contaminations. The study's contaminated soil originated from the surrounding area of the Szopienice non-ferrous metal smelter (Silesia Region, Poland). The control was soil unexposed to heavy metals. Metal concentration was appraised by flame atomic absorption spectrometry, whereas the the community-level physiological profile was determined with the Biolog EcoPlates TM system. The soil microbiological activity in both sites was also assessed via dehydrogenase activity. The mean concentrations of metals (Cd and Zn) in contaminated soil samples were in a range from 147.27 to 12265.42 mg kg -1 , and the heavy metal contamination brought about a situation where dehydrogenase activity inhibition was observed mostly in the soil surface layers. Our results demonstrated that there is diversity in the physiological profiles of microorganisms inhabiting contaminated and colntrol soils; therefore, for assessment purposes, these were treated as two clusters. Cluster I included colntrol soil samples in which microbial communities utilised most of the available substrates. Cluster II incorporated contaminated soil samples in which a smaller number of the tested substrates was utilised by the contained microorganisms. The physiological profiles of microorganisms inhabiting the contaminated and the colntrol soils are distinctly different.K e y w o r d s: Biolog ECO plates, community-level physiological profiles, heavy metals

“…The resistance occurred in the following order: Cu > Cr > Zn > Cd. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and an intertidal zone Matyar, Kaya, and Dinçer [46] studied the sediments of the Iskenderum Bay in Turkey and found bacteria to be more resistant to Cd, followed by Cu and Cr. This discrepancy suggests that there are differences in the heavy metal concentrations in sediments from different areas depending on the surrounding anthropogenic activities.…”

“…This fact is very important, since bacteria are the most abundant organisms in the sediment and represent the first [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and the intertidal zone steps of toxic component transfer to higher trophic levels [14]. Because of these factors, the results suggest the need for pollution monitoring in the Araça Bay.…”

Heavy metals influence the population size, diversity, and metabolic activity of bacteria. In turn, bacteria can develop heavy metal resistance mechanisms, and this can be used in bioremediation of contaminated areas. The purpose of the present study was to understand how heavy metals concentration influence on diversity and distribution of heavy metal-resistant bacteria in Araça Bay, São Sebastião, on the São Paulo coast of Brazil. The hypothesis is that activities that contribute for heavy metal disposal and the increase of metals concentrations in environment can influence in density, diversity, and distribution of heavy metal-resistant bacteria. Only 12 % of the isolated bacteria were sensitive to all of the metals tested. We observed that the highest percentage of resistant strains were in areas closest to the São Sebastião channel, where port activity occurs and have bigger heavy metals concentrations. Bacterial isolated were most resistant to Cr, followed by Zn, Cd, and Cu. Few strains resisted to Cd levels greater than 200 mg L(-1). In respect to Cr, 36 % of the strains were able to grow in the presence of as much as 3200 mg L(-1). Few strains were able to grow at concentrations of Zn and Cu as high as 1600 mg L(-1), and none grew at the highest concentration of 3200 mg L(-1). Bacillus sp. was most frequently isolated and may be the dominant genus in heavy metal-polluted areas. Staphylococcus sp., Planococcus maritimus, and Vibrio aginolyticus were also isolated, suggesting their potential in bioremediation of contaminated sites.
