FOUR bacterial isolates were isolated from hydrocarbons…. contaminated soil from Korea. The isolated bacteria were tested for their heavy metal resistance with different concentrations of Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Cr⁶⁺ (0-100 mg L^-1) on a Tris-minimal medium using agar diffusion method. The result shows that Cu²⁺ and Pb²⁺ resistance was the most widespread. None of the tested isolates were tolerated for Cr⁶⁺. Specifically, the bacterial isolate Bacillus X4 was multiple metal resistances to Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Cd²⁺ of concentrations 50, 50 and 10 mg L^-1, respectively. The resistant bacterium was identified based on 16S rRNA as Bacillus megaterium X4. Results suggest that Bacillus megaterium X4. can be used to remediate heavy metals from hydrocarbons contaminated soils.
