Abstract
The proverb that “everything in excess is opposed to nature” hysterics immaculately when exposed to the applications of pesticides and their effects on heavy metals and possess antagonistic properties outside the suggested Environmental Protection Agency parameters. Heavy metals, which causes several physiological happenings in higher organisms but excess of heavy metals is bad and lead to severe health challenges. Pollution caused by heavy metals presents a key universal apprehension in the atmosphere as a consequence of their very delayed or no biodegradation, persistence in the environment and accumulation in the biological systems. Heavy metal derived toxicity needs to be prevailed which is mainly due to many humanoid actions, the prolonged & extensive usage of synthetic pyrethroids pesticides and allied heavy metals used in various preparations and formulations. Bioremediation is a promising technology as a result of its possible cost effectiveness and environmental compatibility. In our present study, one bacterial isolate and two isolates of fungus wewed by zinc (Zn) & least to mercury (Hg). Higher biosorption capacity of fungal biomass of Aspergillus flavus was observed at 800 ppm conc. of copper and zinc. Similarly, higher biosorption capacity of fungal biomass of Penicillium citrinum was observed at 50 ppm conc. of zinc. Thus, we can conclude that Bacillus subtilis, Aspergillus flavus and Penicillium citrinum are being ubiquitous, showed the potential to be used as biosorbents for the removal of higher concentrations of different heavy metals in the environment.
