D. Tech. Environmental, Water and Earth Sciences / Pollution of water sources with heavy metals is currently a global concern due to the detrimental effect of these metals on both human and animal health. To address this issue, biological treatment methods have been seen as the most effective and eco-friendly option of the available treatment processes of wastewater. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of selected bacterial isolates and indigenous protozoan to tolerate nickel and vanadium in wastewater systems in order to determine which group of organisms might play a major role in the removal of nickel and vanadium, even at high concentrations, in wastewater treatment systems.
