Actinomycetes as a Possible Source of Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Cadmium from Contaminated Soil

Cd has a deleterious effect on plant phenotypic, cytotoxicity (e.g., lowering chlorophyll concentration and limiting photosynthetic effectiveness), and metabolic activities (e.g., chlorosis and necrosis).

 Microbial bioremediation by using microorganisms is one of the secure, pure, cost operative and eco-friendly technology for decontaminating polluting sites as compared to physical and chemical techniques. Among microbes, Actinobacteria hold a paramount position, serving as key players in numerous biological processes, utilize toxins as carbon source and turn into high concentrations of pesticides, chemical complexes and heavy metals into commercially viable antibiotics, enzymes, proteins, and plant growth promoting hormones.
