Abstract

Enterobacter hormaechei and Brevibacterium antarcticum strains isolated from ornithogenic soils of Galindez Island (West Antarctica) were investigated for their resistance to Cu2+ cations and for their capacity to Cu2+ uptake from the environment. The studied strains are capable to grow in the concentration range of copper 100-1100 mg/l and to extract 11-75% of Cu2+ from the environment depending on cultivation parameters and copper output concentration in the culture medium.
