Metal tolerance and biosorption of Pb ions by Bacillus cereus RMN 1 (MK521259) isolated from metal contaminated sites.

Recent years, metal pollution is an alarming factor to know about protects the environmental ecosystem due to the toxic, persistent and abundant in nature. Metals are present everywhere in the biotic and abiotic samples including soil, water, and microbes. The rate of bioaccumulation and biotransformation are very high. The excess concentration of the metals causes heavy metal pollution or contamination. Due to these defects, the removal of metals using biological sources is heightened in the current research. In this current investigation, the biosorption potential ability of the metal tolerable Bacillus cereus on Pb and Cu rich environment was chosen and thoroughly monitored. The 16s rRNA of the Bacillus cereus was sequenced, and named as Bacillus cereus RMN 1 (MK521259). The various test concentration (10-60 mg/mL) of Pb and Cu was exhibited the maximum removal percentages of 85.2% and 60.2%. The result of bisorption factors exhibited, 300 mg/mL of the biosorbent potency, 60 min contact time and pH 7, and they found to be optimal to remove the maximum of Pb ion from the solution. In the regression coefficients, the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models were used to study the adsorption kinetics of metal ions. In addition, the isotherm model confirmed that the of B. cereus biomass medicated metal adsorption was more favourable reaction for metal degradation. With the above evidences, the results of the present investigation proved that B. cereus derived biomass was actively adsorbing the metals ions. Thus we are recommending for the implementation of effective waste water treatment.
