Abstract

Rapid utilization of natural resources and other anthropogenic activities intruded heavy metals into the food chain and raised alarming concern for all life forms. The available methods proved insufficient in handling waste and pollutants due to the high cost and generation of toxic residues. Bioremediation strategies have offered sustainable solutions for toxic pollutants. In the current study, cadmium and lead (Cd and Pb respectively) tolerant strains have been isolated from industrial effluent and characterized for tolerance towards target pollutants. The strain was identified by 16s rRNA gene and further used for metal removal from the industrial effluents.
