Baby, V, Rajakumar, S, Ayyasamy, P.M

Geomicrobiology is an important branch of earth sciences, for that the present study characterizes the culturable bacteria from metal based industrial soil. The characterized bacteria were also screened for iron and manganese resistant ability upto 6000 ppm of iron and manganese. In that most of metal resistant isolated strains were closely related to other cultured bacteria, both iron and manganese resistant Bacillus methylotrophicus KM001063 isolate (SS3) affiliated to members of Firmicutes, which was conformed by 16SrDNA gene sequence analysis, it had 94% to the nearest match present in GenBank database
