Abstract
In current research, Pseudomonas putida @ Chitosan hybrid biosorbent capability for U(VI) biosorption in a fixed bed column was investigated. The results showed that the increase in inlet concentration from 50 to 200 mg/L increased the biosorption capacity from 188.75 to 429.28 mg/g. In the column system, the sorption capacity was higher than that of the batch system because fixed bed column make best use of the inlet concentration difference as sorption driving force. Decrease in inlet flow rate through increase in the residence time for better diffusion or interaction as well as greater access to binding sites for uranium ions caused an improvement in column performance. Decline in the biosorption capacity due to increase in the inlet flow rate demonstrated that intraparticle diffusion was the rate-controlling step. With decreasing in the sorbent particle size from 1.5 to 1 mm, a significant increase in the biosorption capacity from 179.02 to 296.87 mg/g was achieved. FTIR and potentiometric titration confirmed that while –NH3+ was the dominant functional group in the chitosan, –NH3+, –NH3, –OH, –COOH were responsible for the hybrid biosorbent. In conclusion, the present study indicated that Pseudomonas putida @ Chitosan could be a suitable biosorbent for U(VI) biosorption from aqueous solution in the continuous system.

Abstract
Abstract: Toxic metal pollution is effluents from hospitals and factories. Remove them from the environment is important. Iranian Research Organization for Science and Technology of yeast Saccharomyces carlsbergensis PTCC 5051, and received as a lyophilized culture YEDPA environment and then the proliferation of malt extract broth is used. In this study, the effects of parameters such as pH, temperature, kinetics and adsorption isotherm nickel and zinc were determined by Saccharomyces. Maximum amount of nickel and zinc uptake in the pH range 5/5, and 6 was respectively. Kinetic studies showed that the biological uptake of nickel by biomass on Saccharomyces was quickly removed and most of the first test was done in less than 30 minutes. Adsorption of nickel and zinc were determined by Saccharomyces active and in active. Uptake by yeast is more active. Nickel and zinc uptake by Saccharomyces inactivated by autoclaving or sodium azide and di-nitro phenol has been investigated. Maximum amount of nickel and zinc absorption were 0.65 and 0.47 mmol g. Remove toxic heavy metals from wastewater by the yeast Saccharomyces hospitals is high performance.

Abstract
Aims: The aim of the present study was to isolate yeasts with the high ability of decolorization to use as biosorption in removing azo dyes.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, an enrichment method was used to isolate dye absorbent yeast in a salt medium. The dye absorption was performed with comparing wet and dried biomass. Decolorization level was evaluated in different concentrations of dye and salt. By molecular method, the best strain was identified and its ability to absorb various dyes as well as mono-, di-, and tri-azo dyes were investigated. Statistical tests including one way ANOVA and Tukey as well as SPSS 19 software were used.
Findings: Among 17 yeast isolates, ADH17 was selected as the most capable isolate. This isolate was 100% similar to Sarocladium sp. Dried biomass could adsorb the dye 4 times more than the wet biomass. The remained dye increased when initial dye concentration rose, but different concentrations of sodium chloride had no significant effect in biosorption. This strain could adsorb a broad range of azo dyes, including mono-, di-, and tri- azo and acidic, basic, and reactive dyes as well. The highest biosorption was 97.43% for reactive red and the lowest biosorption was 87.96% for reactive yellow.
Conclusion: The ADH17 is the most capable isolate and it is 100% similar to Sarocladium sp. This strain adsorbs a broad range of azo dyes, including mono-, di-, and tri- azo and acidic, basic, and reactive dyes as well. Sarocladium sp has a high ability to absorb various azo dyes.

Abstract
Pollution in industrial areas due to the release of heavy metals is one of the important environmental concerns. Heavy metals can have very adverse effects on human and animal health. In this regard, food products contaminated with heavy metals, even in low concentrations, can have harmful effects on human health. In this regard, the use of microorganisms is known as a new and low-cost method for the biological removal of metals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the type of microorganism (Lactiplantibacillus paraplantarum, Lactobacillus paragasseri, and Limosilatobacillus reuteri), temperature, and incubation time on the removal of lead and cadmium metals using the response surface methodology. The results showed that the removal rate of lead metal using microorganisms was significantly higher than that of cadmium. Increasing the time from 0 to 24 hours significantly increased the amount of metal removal. On the other side, increasing the temperature up to about 38 °C positively affected the removal of metals, but increasing the temperature further reduced the ability of microorganisms to remove metals. In general, the software determined the optimal conditions to achieve the maximum removal of lead and cadmium metals by 45.9% and 39.65%, respectively, at 24 hours incubation time and 33.98 °C temperature using Lactobacillus paragasseri bacteria. Therefore, according to the results of this research, the use of microorganisms such as Lactobacillus paragasseri is a useful solution for removing heavy metals from various sources, such as industrial wastewater.
