Biosorption of aluminum, cobalt, and copper ions by Providencia rettgeri isolated from wastewater.

Abstract excerpt

Twenty-three bacterial isolates from polluted water and soil were screened for heavy metals resistance (i.e., Al(3+), Co(2+), and Cu(2+)). The most potent isolate was identified by morphological characteristics, biochemical tests and confirmed by API20E kits as Providencia rettgeri MAM-4. Removal of Al(3+) from aqueous solution by P. rettgeri is more efficient (∼fourfold) than that by B. cereus ATCC 11778 (a...
