<strong><em>Enterobacter asburiae</em> KUNi5, a Nickel Resistant Bacterium for Possible Bioremediation of Nickel Contaminated Sites</strong>
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Microbiology - Year 2016, Vol 65, Issue 1
Abstract
Nickel resistant bacterial strain Enterobacter asburiae KUNi5 was isolated and showed resistance up to 15 mM and could remove Ni optimally better at 37°C and pH 7. Maximum removal was found at initial concentration of 0.5 to 2 mM, however, growth and Ni removal were affected by other heavy metals. Major amount of the metal was accumulated in the membrane fractions and certain negatively charged groups were found responsible for Ni binding. KUNi5 could also produce 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate deaminase, indole-acetic acid and siderophore. It seems that KUNi5 could be a possible candidate for Ni detoxification and plant growth promotion in Ni-contaminated field.
