The dilemma of the environmental pollution on the grounds of
indispensable industrial growth is, in realistic terms, the problem
of dispensation of industrial waste, whether; it is in liquid,
solid or gaseous form. These all three forms of wastes have a
potential to pollute the water. These heavy metals have a damaging
affect on plants and can pose health hazards to the humans and
animals. Microorganisms have the ability to accommodate a variety
of pollutants, both inorganic and organic. It is important to
realize that microorganisms cannot destroy metals but have the
ability to bind metal ions present in the external environment at
the cell surface or to transport them into the cell for various
intracellular functions. The removal of metals from distinct
aqueous streams by biosorption and bioaccumulation has received
significant attention. copper is one of the toxic heavy metals and
bacteria resistant to copper have four main genes copA, copB copC
and copD these genes help the bacteria to sequester copper from the
outside environment.
