Abstract:
:Two strains of Pseudomonas species (B2 and D5) selected from an array of lead solubilizing and accumulating bacteria obtained from the effluent contaminated soil samples of a battery manufacturing factory were studied. Increase in pH between 4.0 and 6.0 favoured the growth of isolates: Peak log10 cfu mL(-1) values of 7.1, 7.5 and 8.5 were obtained at pH 4, 5 and 6, respectively. Cell bound lead concentrations for B2 (0.34 mg mL(-1)) and D5 (0.30 mg mL(-1)) obtained by direct contact with Pbs were greater than lead concentrations of 0.89 and 0.25 mg mL(-1) for B2 and D5, respectively, obtained in dialyzed cultures. These cell bound lead concentration in undialyzed cultures were also greater than lead concentrations of 0.03 and 0.07 mg mL(-1) for B2 and D5 in culture supernatants. Glucose addition did nor improve lead accumulation in the isolates. Exploitation of such isolates for the biotreatment of lead laden effluent was conducted.
