Indigenous bacteria as potential agents for trace metal remediation in industrial wastewater.

ABSTRACT: Water pollution is a burning issue that can originate from both urbanization and industrialization. This study aimed to evaluate the industrial wastewater collected from Hayatabad Industrial Estate and to use indigenous bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterobacter aerogenes for bioremediation. The water samples collected were analyzed for physicochemical parameters and microbial pollution. To analyze the pollution removal efficiency by indigenous bacterial species, a pot experiment was performed for 14 days. Before and after experiment, the water samples were analyzed for trace metal concentration by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. The biochemical and molecular analysis confirmed the presence of two bacterial species (P. aeruginosa and E. aerogenes). The industrial wastewater treated
