Abstract
ABSTRACT Bioaugmentation uses microorganisms to detoxify or remove concentrated contaminants from any polluted media. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of biological treatment of leachate using microbial strains isolated from leachate. Eight strains were chosen for their capacity to oxidise organic matter and their resistance to heavy metals (Cr, Fe, Zn, and Ni). They were inoculated separately at different concentrations (2%, 4%, and 6%). The results obtained show significant reduction of the pollutant load using these bacterial species.
