Summary
Immobilized cells of a strain of a Citrobacter sp. were effective in the removal of cadmium, lead and copper from single and mixed metal flows, and from synthetic effluents. About 80% of the presented metal was removed, and this was increased to nearly 100% by the incorporation of additional immobilized cell column units.
