Bioremediation of industrial wastewater heavy metals using solo and consortium Enterobacter spp.

ABSTRACT: Heavy metals are considered the most common pollutants in industrial wastewater areas. Out of thirty bacterial isolates, only 3 isolates sighted the highest metal resistance activity for Zn⁺², Fe⁺², Pb⁺², Co⁺², Mn⁺², Ni⁺², and Cd⁺². The biochemical and DNA homology identification with similarities 99.58%, 99.79%, and 99.86% of those isolates was identified and deposited in WDCM, respectively, as Enterobacter kobei OM144907 SCUF0000311, Enterobacter cloacae OM180597 SCUF0000312, and Enterobacter hormaechei OM181067 SCUF0000313. The minimum tolerance activity (MIC) of heavy metal concentrations against E. kobei and E. cloacae was 25, 15, and 15 mmol/l for Ni⁺², Fe⁺², and Mn⁺², respec
