| Abstract | Twenty six arsenic (As) resistant bacterial strains were isolated from As contaminated paddy soil of West Bengal, India. Among them, 10 isolates exhibited higher As resistance capacity and could grow in concentration of 12000 mg l1 of arsenate (AsV) and 2000 mg l1 of arsenite (AsIII) in growing medium. Maximum growth was observed at 1000 mg l1 and 100 mg l1 in case of AsV and AsIII respectively. Results of incubation study carried out in basal salt minimal media (BSMY) containing 25 mg l1 of AsV and AsIII separately showed that the isolates could accumulate 1.03 6.41 mg L1 of AsV and 2.0 7.6 mg l1 of AsIII from the media. The bacterial isolate AGH21 showed highest As accumulating capacity both for AsV (25.64%) and AsIII (30.4%) under laboratory conditions. The isolates AGH21 (NCBI accession no: HQ834295) showed highest sequence similarity (98%) with Bacillus sp. and could be used as a potential bioremediator in future to combat with arsenic toxicity. |
