Abstract:
Heavy metal pollution poses a serious threat to all kinds of life in the environment because of the harmful effects of long-term environmental contamination. These metals can accumulate in food webs and are particularly sensitive to low quantities, which poses a serious risk to the public's health. Different organic pollutants and metals are not biodegradable and remain in the environment for a very long time. Traditional physical and chemical cleanup techniques are wasteful and generate a ton of chemical waste. The balance of hazardous metals has drawn more and more attention over time to environmentally friendly and economical biosensor bacteria. Microbes have a variety of mechanisms for sequestering metals as a result, which gives them greater capacity for metal biosorption. We conclude by making suggestions based on microbiological tools for extracting and recovering metals and metalloids from solutions utilizing either living or dead biomass or its constituent parts.
