Isolation of a novel multiple-heavy metal resistant Lampropedia aestuarii GYF-1 and investigation of its bioremediation potential.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Heavy metal contamination has been a severe worldwide environmental issue. For industrial pollutions, heavy metals rarely exist as singular entities. Hence, researches have increasingly focused on the detrimental effect of mixed heavy metal pollution. Genome analysis of Lampropedia strains predicted a repertoire of heavy metal resistance genes. However, we are still lack of experimental evidence regarding to heavy metal resistance of Lampropedia, and their potential in mixed heavy metal removal remain elusive.

Results

In this study, a Lampropedia aestuarii strain GYF-1 was isolated from soil samples near steel factory. Heavy metal tolerance assay indicated L. aestuarii GYF-1 possessed minimal inhibition values of 2 mM, 10 mM, 6 mM, 4 mM, 6 mM, 0.8 mM, and 4 mM for
