Abstract :

Introduction of Heavy metals like Lead, Chromium, Cadmium, Nickel, Copper, and Cobalt into the Natural habitat like soil, water and air causes significant environmental problem. Lead (Pb) is a major pollutant found in soil water and air is hazardous and highly toxic to human, animal, plants and Microorganisms. Interestingly some microorganisms like Staphylococcus spp. Escherichia. Coli, Flavobacterium spp., Bacillus spp are having ability to detoxify such heavy metals so play role with cleaning up or remediating heavy metal contaminated environment. Present study deals with isolation identification and characterization of the heavy metal resistant bacteria were isolated from sewage water followed with the study of lead tolerance and bioremediation. In initial screening five bacterial isolates were selected out of this two bacterial isolates shows high Lead resistance as well multiple antibiotic resistance ability might be possible to use in bioremediation
