Microbes for bioremediation of heavy metals

Abstract

Heavy metal pollution is expanding its arms to every nook and corner of this living world, thereby swamping our ecosystem with heavy metals that prove to be hazardous for plants, animals, and humans. One of the most common, eco-friendly strategies that can be employed to counter this problem effectively is bioremediation for alleviating the stress of heavy metal contamination. To implement this strategy, exploration and identification of heavy metal resistance microbes is need of the hour.
