Abstract
Industries release waste effluents to the environment, it contains toxic heavy metals and cause health hazards to plants, animal, aquatic life and human beings. In biological system metals play an important role and as a living cell can’t exist without metal ions, but essential metals can be toxic to the organism when their concentration are either too high or too low. The main source of heavy metal contaminants are industrial wastewater from mining, metal processing, tanneries, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, organic chemicals, rubber, plastics and wood products producing industries. Heavy metal resistant bacteria isolated by serial dilution method and pour plate method. MIC was noted when the colonies failed to grow on the medium and concentration of heavy metal was measured by using atomic absorption spectrophotometer. In this review article discussed the information about screening of heavy metal resistant bacteria, to determination of MIC and removal of heavy metals by biosorption method.
