Research Abstract |
Microbial removal of heavy metals, especially cadmium, from agricultural and marine industrial wastes were examined. During sequential and mixed cultivation of proteolytic microbes and a strain of sulfate-educing bacteria in an extracts of each waste, heavy metals like cadmium were removed almost completely from the extract as the metal-sulfide precipitate. Whereas a ant amounts of heavy metals remained in the extract after the cultivation of proteolytic microbes or the sulfate-reducing bacterium alone. These results suggested that heavy metals in agricultural and marine industrial wastes would be present as bound-state with heavy-metal-binding protein such as metallothionein and they would be transformed to the free-state by protease secreted by proteolytic microbes. And then metal-sulfide precipitates could be formed with the free-state of heavy metals and hydrogen sulfide produced by the sulfate-reducing bacterium. Availability of meal-free preparations as. feed were also examined.
