Present review paper deals with extensive literature survey in exploring the potential of microbial biomass for the sequestering of toxic heavy metals from aquatic streams. Presently more than half billion people are underprivileged and deprived of fresh water, clean air, soil and pure food. Contamination of aquatic streams due to release of toxic metal ions is a stern issue demanding global concern. Toxic metals such as Cr (VI), Cd (II), Pb (II), Zn (II), Ni (II) and many more are being…

Chromium is one of the toxic heavy metals which exists in nature as stable hexavalent and trivalent forms. The hexavalent form of chromium is more toxic than trivalent chromium as it persists…

The uptake of heavy metals by biomass can in some cases reach up to 50% of the biomass dry weight and new biosorbents can be manipulated for better efficiency and multiple re-use to increase their economic attractiveness.
