Bioremediation of toxic metals in mining site of Zamfara metropolis using resident bacteria (Pantoea agglomerans): A optimization approach

摘要

Various clean-up techniques for heavy metals have been suggested and practiced for its biosorption from the contaminated or pollutant soil by using chemical and physical methods. But most of the methods are hazardous to the environment and expensive. This study was on how to determine the potential of resident bacteria in the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils in Abare situated in Anka Local Government of Zamfara State, Nigeria. Thus, this study employed bioremediation technique for removal of heavy metals.
