Description | Original research article:- *Tarun Agarwal, Rachana Singh. Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University, Lucknow, UP, India. Abstract:- The presents study focuses on to the characterization of the biological potentials of a bacterium isolated from the oil contaminated soil. The isolate was tested for the salt tolerance, Azo dyes (Acid Orange 7 and Congo red) degradation and for the heavy metal tolerance. Along with the previously mentioned test, Antibiotic susceptibility test, colony characterization studies were also conducted. According to the characterization studies, the bacterium was predicted to be of genus Klebseilla. The bacterial strain was found to degrade the azo dyes used in the studies and was tolerant to salts of heavy metals such as Zinc, Copper, Nickel and Arsenic.
Key words:- Salt tolerance, Azo dye degradation, Heavy metal tolerance, Antibiotic sensitivity test. |
