description | The mechanisms of tolerance to heavy metals used by some microorganisms identified by bioprospection processes are useful for the development and implementation of bioremediation strategies for contaminated environments with high toxic load caused by heavy metals. A total of seven native microbial isolates were obtained from wastewater bodies from an industrial zone in the municipality of Girardota, Antioquia, Colombia. Subsequently, they were selected to evaluate their lead tolerance capacity at different concentrations. In addition, some parameters were determined, such as the capacity to produce exopolysaccharides and their biosorption to understand potential mechanisms associated to lead tolerance. According to the biocehemical test (Vitek) and the molecular analysis of sequences of 16S rDNA, bacterial were identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas nitroreducens, and Pseudomonas alcaligenes. We determined that the seven isolates had the capacity to tolerate concentrations higher than 50 mg/ml of lead, and that the concentration and exposure time (40 h) to this metal significantly affect the Pseudomonas spp. isolates. Statistically significant differences were detected (p < 0.05) in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) among the isolates. P. aeruginosa (P16) was the strain with the maximum absorbance exopolysaccharide measured. We evidenced that P. aeruginosa (P14) and P. nitroreducens (P20) have 80% capacity to biosorber lead using live mass (minimum range from 80.9% to 87%). It is suggested that the tolerance to lead exhibited by the environmental isolates of Pseudomonas spp. can be attributed to the production of exopolysaccharides and biosorption, which are protection factors for its survival in contaminated places. Finally, it was determined that the adsorption measured from dead biomass was significant (p < 0.05) from 40 h of exposure to metal (Average 182.2 ± 7). We generated new knowledge about the potential use of the Pseudomonas spp. genus to bioremediate affluent contaminated with heavy metals. |
