n the cells. Scanning Electron Micrographs showed distinct cytoskeleton changes of the cell in presence of metals. Bioremedial package was developed under immobilized condition both with pure isolates as well as mixed consortia for treating heavy metal containing waste water. Efficiency of Lead removal was measured using atomic absorption spectroscopy. All the isolates were found to accumulate metals to different extent. Laboratory scale bioremediation study indicated effective lead removal by immobilized consortium as well as individual strains. The mixed consortium removed 83.68% metal from distilled water and 94.4% from Bheri water both supplemented with 5 mM lead nitrate salt, within 48 h.
