Abstract
Discharge of waste containing heavy metals through anthropogenic activities has created global environmental and health burden and remediation of contaminated sites becomes more expensive, however sustainable methods of degrading heavy metals using resistant microorganisms have become important biotechnological development. 42 lead resistant bacteria were isolated from municipal solid waste in Tiruchirappalli. Lead resistant bacteria were screened and the maximum tolerable concentration was found to be in the range of 100–260 mg/kg. Lead resistant bacteria such as Pseudomonas spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Escherichia spp. were identified and used to make consortium and used in column test. The results show lead diminishing from 0.923 to 0.1943 ppm concerning the control sample from day 1 until day 10. The consortium used has shown capability to biodegrade lead in solid waste and may further be used for biomining and other bioremediation studies.
