Description:
Environmental bacteria have an important role in the removal and improvement of metals from polluted area. Metal–microbe interactions as a form of detoxification of metal have been developed. In this study, we investigated the ability of Tabrizicola aquatica RCRI19T , a novel environmental bacterium isolated from deepwater from Qurugöl Lake nearby Tabriz city, Iran, to Fe(III)-reduction as an electron acceptor in minimal essential elements condition. Subsequently, bioabsorption behaviour of heavy metals (Ni2+ , Co2+ , pb2+ ) by strain RCRI19T has been demonstrated. Our results showed that strain RCRI19T can reduce 20mM ferric-citrate particularly in anaerobic condition,
