A Gram positive lead resistant bacterial isolate was got form effluents of tanning industry. Maximum lead resistance of the isolate was determined. The strain CMBL17 tolerated maximum lead concentration at 2 mg/mL of the medium. Resistance of the isolate against cadmium. and chromium was also checked. Optimum growth conditions i.e., incubation temperature. pH and inoculum size were noted for the growth of the isolate. The isolate was used for processing of lead in the medium. The bacterium showed fairly high efficiency in processing of lead present in liquid medium. Location of genes for lead processing was determined by detection of plasmids_ curing of plasmids and determination of lead resistance after curing.
