Brevibacterium sp. strain CS2: A potential candidate for arsenic bioremediation from industrial wastewater.

ABSTRACT: A multiple metal-resistant Brevibacterium sp. strain CS2, isolated from an industrial wastewater, resisted arsenate and arsenate upto 280 and 40 mM. The order of resistance against multiple metals was Arsenate > Arsenite > Selenium = Cobalt > Lead = Nickel > Cadmium = Chromium = Mercury. The bacterium was characterized as per morphological and biochemical characteristics at optimum conditions (37 ℃ and 7 pH). The appearance of brownish color precipitation was due to the interaction of silver nitrate confirming its oxidizing ability against arsenic. The strain showed arsenic processing ability at different temperatures, pH, and initial arsenic concentration which was 37% after 72 h and 48% after 96 h of incubation at optimum conditions with arsenite 250 mM/L (initial arsenic concentr
