This study elucidates methods for isolation and biochemical identification of thermophilic bacteria isolated from the Gauri Kund hot spring of Uttarakhand, India. Heavy metals are discharged from various industries and man-made activities into the soil and water resources. Increased toxic concentrations of heavy metals are responsible for disturbing metabolism and may cause lethal and chronic diseases in humans and plants. Therefore, this study aims to isolate and identify some metalresistant bacterial strains of thermophiles. A total of 3 iron (Fe) and 3 manganese (Mn) resistant bacterial strains were isolated. These strains were capable of tolerating the presence of Fe, and Mn metal ions. Additionally, the metal tolerance limit of isolated strains was determined by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The thermophilic strain GA7 showed the highest MIC (475 μg/lt.) against Mn ions. However, for more accurate results, molecular characterization is also required and reported in another study with the results of a detailed bioremediation assay. The unique cell wall structures and thermoadaptation mechanisms of thermophilic bacteria help in heavy metal Bioremediation. It is concluded that bacterial bioremediation is a very good, eco-friendly, and cost-effective biotechnological approach to reduce heavy metal contamination from the soil and water bodies.
