Abstract: In this paper,cadmium-resistant bacteria were isolated from heavy metals-contaminated soils through agar plate containing Cd2+ as 3CdSO4·8H2O.The strains JL-4 and JC-9 were identified as Bacillus sp.and Xanthomonas sp.,respectively,based on their morphological,physical,and biochemical characteristics.In the liquid medium containing Cd2+(100 mg·L-1) and inoculated with JL-4 or JC-9,the available Cd2+ content in supernatant was increased by 1 392.3%(JL-4) or 1 410.8%(JC-9),compared with the control,and the pH was decreased to 2.87(JL-4) or 3.18(JC-9).Soil cadmium(100,200 mg·kg-1) activation experiments showed that the available Cd2+ content in soil inoculated with JL-4 or JC-9 was increased by 17.02%~100%(JL-4) or 36.17%~61.80%(JC-9),compared with the control.The optimum temperature for JL-4 and JC-9 was 28 ℃,and the optimum pH for them was 7 and 8,respectively.The two strains could also be resistant to Pb2+(800 mg·L-1),Cu2+(50 mg·L-1),Ni2+(50 mg·L-1),and Zn2+(200 mg·L-1).
