Abstract
Recent Progress in Metal-Microbe Interactions: Prospects in Bioremediation
Highlights
In intensive system of agricultural, agrochemicals that depend mainly on usage of chemical fertilizers that directly are applied to the soil to support the need of essential nutrients as growth promoting, pest and disease controlling agent
On the other hand several industrial waste and effluents significantly contribute to heavy metal pollution on the environmental which causes hazards to human health as well as various environmental biotic and ecological set up[2]
Researchers in the past have demonstrated the harmful impact of long term usage of sewage, sludge and industrial effluents on cultivated soil due to heavy metal pollution
Summary
In intensive system of agricultural, agrochemicals that depend mainly on usage of chemical fertilizers that directly are applied to the soil to support the need of essential nutrients as growth promoting, pest and disease controlling agent. Role of various transport protein families involved in heavy metal metabolism are explored. This article provides insights of metalbacteria interaction in terms of resistance mechanisms and role of various transport proteins and its potential application in bioremediation of metal pollution. Most of the heavy metals are required in low concentration in biological system in various metabolic processes but become toxic at elevated concentrations in biotic system including humans and animals[6].
