Microbial Application in Heavy Metal Removal from Pharmacological Industrial Effluent.

This article explores the use of microbial methods to remove heavy metals from industrial effluent in the pharmaceutical industry. The effluent contains metallic cations that can contaminate the soil and food chain. Traditional treatments for metal-containing waste have limitations, so researchers are investigating alternative biological methods involving bacteria and bio surfactants. The article also presents a study on the effects of microbial treated and untreated tannery effluent on the growth of green gram. The study concludes that bacteria are effective in removing heavy metals from pharmaceutical effluent. [Extracted from the article]
