Isolation and analysis of heavy metal-resistant bacteria originating from a stream contaminated with waste effluent from a paper recycling plant

A total of 404 heavy metal resistance bacterial isolates belonging to 10 gene were isolated from water and sediment samples taken at sites near a waste discharge point of a paper recycling mill in Sarawak. The resistance properties screend were CoR (400 ug/mg), NiR (1600 ug/mg), PbR (1400 ug/ml, CuR...
