curing
heavy metal resistance (Arsenic) mechanism is plasmid mediated. Figure 2 illustrates
the absence of any colony growth after plasmid curing.
4 Summary of Overall Work
Bioremediation is an innovative technology in removal of heavy metals and the
present study based on similar concept of microbial capacity to tolerate heavy metals
and the removal percentage of them has illustrated significant removal percent.
Further studies regarding the technology development based on such process are
expected to be supportive to the community suffering from arsenic toxicity.
