- Abstract
The article presents a study which investigated the biosorption and tolerance of mercury (Hg) by microbial consortia. The study used mercury resistant microorganisms, such as Bacillus (B.) licheniformis, Tetrahymena (T.) rostrata, and Candida (C.) parapsilosis, which were isolated from tanneries' industrial effluents. Results revealed that all microorganisms demonstrated typical growth pattern, but not for the lag phase. The study noted that yeast and bacteria could make more effective inoculum for remediating industrial waste water contaminated with mercury.
