Bioremediation of Lead by Indigenous Bacteria Isolated from an Idol Immersion Site (Lead remediation by Pseudomonas)

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Heavy metal contamination particularly lead (Pb) is a fast-emerging environmental issue around the globe with special concern in the areas where idol immersion is a major activity. The current study was undertaken to isolate and characterize a lead-resistant bacteria from Prempura Ghat, Bhopal, being one of the major idol immersion sites. From the surface, eleven bacterial colonies were isolated, out of which two demonstrated tolerance up to a significant level with lead concentration. The most
