IMPACT OF NICKEL(II) OXIDE NANOPARTICLE ON BREVIBACILLUS GROWTH FOR BIOREMEDIATION

Abstract

The utilization of nanoparticles in bioremediation has garnered considerable interest due to their potential in improving pollutant removal efficiency. In this particular study, My focus was to investigate how nickel nanoparticles affect the growth of Brevibacillus brevis bacteria, which is known for its bioremediation capabilities. We introduced nickel nanoparticles into the growth medium and carefully assessed their influence on bacterial growth. The outcomes of my experiments reveal a notable stimulatory effect of nickel nanoparticles on the growth and proliferation of Brevibacillus brevis bacteria. This observation suggests that nickel nanoparticles can be effectively employed as a valuable tool in bioremediation strategies, specifically targeting the elimination of pollutants and contaminants from the environment. However, it is crucial to conduct further research to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms behind this stimulation and to optimize the application of nickel nanoparticles in bioremediation practices. Ultimately, these findings contribute to the advancement of innovative and sustainable approaches for efficient environmental cleanup.
