Abstract
In the present investigate, 123 bacterial isolates were isolated from different sources of industrial wastewater and
polluted soil. These isolates were cultivated on different heavy metal ions (Ni+2, Zn+2, Fe+3, Al+3 and Cr+5) at different
concentrations. Among these isolates, 100 bacterial isolates were heavy metal tolerance and 10 isolates were selected which
gave the highest growth on 0.56, 7.00, 61.00, 61.00 and 2.20 ppm of Ni+2, Zn+2, Fe+3, Al+3 and Cr+5, respectively. Out of 10
isolates, 3 isolates namely C4, C6 and C12 were capable to grow (tolerated) at high concentrations of the tested metal ions and
gave a high growth ranged from 1.02-1.29, 0.84-1.15 and 0.74-1.31 in presence of Ni (at 17.8 ppm), Zn (at 224.03 ppm) and
Cr (at 70.4 ppm), respectively. Carbon and nitrogen sources influence were studied to optimize the growth of tolerance tested
isolates on a high metal ions concentration. It was found that glucose followed by whey were the best one sole of carbon
sources and beef extract and the mixture of beef extract and peptone were the best nitrogen sources for removal of Ni, Zn and
Cr (at 70.4 ppm) by the tested isolates.
