Abstract:Disposal of waste containing heavy metals into the environment is a major threat to human health and can result in toxic or chronic poisoning in aquatic life. In the current study, metal-resistant
Raoultella ornithinolytica
was isolated from metal-contaminated samples collected from the Tanjaro River, located southwest of Sulaymaniyah, Iraq.
R. ornithinolytica
was identified by partial amplification of 16S rRNA. The uptake potency of heavy metals was assessed using… Show more
