摘要

Abstract

Many unicellular cyanobacteria were isolated from different places: fields

ponds

polluted water

and soils from Muredkey and Kasur tannery areas

near Lahore

Pakistan. Different media like BG 11 medium

Bold Basal medium

Chu's #10 medium and Gorham's medium

in standard forms and with slight variations of ingredients

and different pH

temperature and light regimes were checked for the optimum growth of the isolates. The isolation procedure was repeated with different concentrations of chromium to select the resistant strains. These selected strains grew on chromium of the range 100–200 μg/ml in BG 11 medium. Cyanobacteria were maintained in solid and liquid media with/without shaking. Cyanobacterial strains were collected from natural habitats that were accompanied by a diversified group of organisms including bacteria

protozoan

and rotifers etc. In order to eliminate these agents termed as contaminants

we used several methods including phenol treatment

use of antibiotic and careful manual picking of unicellular cyanobacteria. Resistance of these strains against different heavy metals (ZnSO4

MnSO4

NiSO4

CoCl2

Pb(NO3)3

CuSO4

HgCl2

AgNO3 and CdCl2) and antibiotics (erythromycin

streptomycin

kanamyci chloramphenicol

neomycin) was evaluated. Optimum temperature was 30°C with variable pH for the reduction of Cr6+ in to Cr3+ in majority of strains.
