Abstract:Due to industrial development, heavy metal pollution has become a severe global health hazard. The bioadsorption method represented by the adsorption of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) has been widely employed. The purpose of this study is to screen LAB strains that can remove cadmium, lead, and chromium. Through the heavy metal resistance tests, four strains with significant growth inhibition rate were identified. After 16S rDNA sequencing, these resistant strains were identified by Lactobacillus helveticus KD-3 (… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
