“…The bioremediation methods for decreasing the amount of heavy metals in the environment have attracted the attention of many researchers. Plants, bacteria, fungi and algae are usually used for bioremediation of heavy metals [147], and in the literature, there are now many publications of biosorption of nickel, among others Pseudomonas fluorescent [148], Bacillus cereus [149], Saccharomyces cerevisiae [150], and filamentous fungi Trichoderma atroviride strains F6 [151].…”

Nickel is a transition element extensively distributed in the environment, air, water, and soil. It may derive from natural sources and anthropogenic activity. Although nickel is ubiquitous in the environment, its functional role as a trace element for animals and human beings has not been yet recognized. Environmental pollution from nickel may be due to industry, the use of liquid and solid fuels, as well as municipal and industrial waste. Nickel contact can cause a variety of side effects on human health, such as allergy, cardiovascular and kidney diseases, lung fibrosis, lung and nasal cancer. Although the molecular mechanisms of nickel-induced toxicity are not yet clear, mitochondrial dysfunctions and oxidative stress are thought to have a primary and crucial role in the toxicity of this metal. Recently, researchers, trying to characterize the capability of nickel to induce cancer, have found out that epigenetic alterations induced by nickel exposure can perturb the genome. The purpose of this review is to describe the chemical features of nickel in human beings and the mechanisms of its toxicity. Furthermore, the attention is focused on strategies to remove nickel from the environment, such as phytoremediation and phytomining.

“…The are many processes of bioremediations that are involved in microbe-heavy metals interaction. Those processes are adsorption process, complexation process, precipitation process, oxidation process and reductions process [7]. The heavy metals bioremediation potential occurred through microbeheavy metals interactions [7].…”

The ship dismantling activity can cause heavy metal pollution in the environment. One of technology to remediate is bioremediation using bioaugmentation and/or biostimulation methods. The purpose of this research was to determine the removal of iron by Vibrio alginolyticus and nutrient addition. Vibrio alginolyticus was halophilic bacteria that isolated from seawater at this area. The laboratory test was conducted using size erlenmeyer of 250 mL. The 5% (v/v) of Vibrio alginolyticus suspension was added in each reactor. After that, the nutrient with ratio of C : N : P (100 : 10 : 1) also was added in each reactor. The removal test was carried out for 14 days. Concentration of iron was analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometers (AAS). Based on the results, the percentage of iron removal at location 1 with treatment was 94.9 ± 3.6%. It showed a higher value than compared to iron removal at control 1 which was only 50.4±1.8 %. Whereas at location 2, the percentage of iron removal with treatment reached 53.7±13.1% and it was only 16.7±13.1% at control 2. This indicated that the treatment of the addition of Vibrio alginolyticus and nutrients can improve the iron remediation process.

“…11 Bioaccumulation of metals by various micro-and microorganisms is reported under various conditions. 12 The resultant metabolic wastes that they produce are generally safe and somehow recycled into other organisms. Bioremediation does not involve only the degradation of pollutants but also, at times it is sufficient to remove the pollutant from the environment without degrading it.…”

Increasing the large scale use of heavy metals in industries is creating a toxic environment for all living organisms. These metals react at even low concentrations and have received increasing attention worldwide. The refractory and insistent nature of heavy metals leads to severe threat to environment supremacy and life. The native microbial populations in natural sink especially agricultural soils in most parts of the world are being adversely affected by the increasing concentration of metals. The microbial consortiums maintain the soil health with better crop productivity and increase the sustainability of the environment with vital benefits to all living entities. Generally the toxic metals reduce soil fertility with gradual increase input to the food web causing severe public health concerns. This is urgent need of time to mitigate the metal toxicity enigma by cutting edge research with minimizing anthropogenic activities which finally lead to generous release of toxic metals into the environment deliberately with exploitation of the environment and natural resources. Several promising technologies including bioremediation have made understanding of metalmicrobe interactions and their application for mitigation of the toxicity problem. This mini review reveals adverse effect of heavy metals on microbial diversity with deterioration of the human life quality through deep allusion to sustainable agriculture and ecofriendly environment.
