Heavy metal pollution represents an important environmental problem due to the toxic effects of metals and their invasion into the food chain leads to the serious ecological and health problems. Metal remediation through common physiochemical techniques is expensive and unsuitable in treating large contaminated area effectively. It employs the microorganisms capable of degrading toxic contaminants or have the ability to accumulate it in their cells. Bioremediation of heavy metal is an effective method of removing metals from a polluted area using organisms. The aim of this work is to study the ability of microorganisms in this bioremediation process, since microbial metal bioremediation is an effective approach for the elimination of heavy metals due to its low cost, high efficiency and eco-friendly nature. Bacillus cereus shows effective degradation of chromium than Bacillus thuringienesisat optimized condition.
