In-Vitro Analysis Of Bioremediation Potential Of Bacterial Strains Isolated From Soil Contaminated With Cadmium And Chromium

Abstract

Targeted removal of Heavy metals from environment by the help of Bacteria is known as  bacterioremediation. A major part of the industrial effluents contains Heavy metals which are dangerous to humans as well as environment. This research was aimed to perform the Diphenylcarbazide method of metal reduction on Heavy metals (Cadmium and Chromium) to check the absorbance at different concentrations such as 32µ/ml , 8µ/ml , 16µ/ml , 8µ/ml after 24 hrs, 48hrs,72hrs by using Pseudomonas species of bacteria which is isolated from soil contaminated with these heavy metals. This study also contains statistical analysis on the fact that the Pseudomonas is significant for absorbance of Cadmium and Chromium by using two way Anova test. Pseudomonas showing effects at even a low concentration. The results obtained from present study indicates that pseudomonas can be an effective measure for remediation of heavy metals.
