Cysteine-induced sulfide bioprecipitation enables simultaneous efficient dechlorination and cadmium removal by Pseudomonas sp. CP-1

Key Points

• Cysteine-induced sulfide bioprecipitation enables effective cadmium removal and dechlorination.
• The process achieved a cadmium removal rate of over 85% and significant dechlorination.
• Assessment using microbial strain Pseudomonas sp. CP-1 highlights its dual capability in bioremediation.
• These findings suggest potential applications in wastewater treatment and environmental clean-up efforts.
