摘要：The present study is aimed at to isolate the sulfur and iron oxidizing bacteria that can be used to remove the pollutant like as FeSO 4; MgSO 4 etc. Four bacterial isolates were isolated from coal samples called from Choa Saidan Shah, Punjab, Pakistan (Sp3 1 , Sp4 1 , Sp5 3 and Sp6 2 ) evaluated on the basis of biochemical and morphological tests. Most of the isolates showed medium sized colonies with round shape, irregular margin, creamy in color expect Sp6 2 formed yellow colored colonies. All the strains were Gram +ve rods and Spore former, Motile, Catalase producers, Starch hydrolyzing, Nitrate reducer except the SP6 2 . Strains SP3 1 and SP4 1 were sensitive against (Ampicillin-300 µg ml -1 , Tetracycline 25 µg ml -1 , Streptomycin 500 µg ml -1 , Chloramphenicol 5 µg ml -1 ) antibiotics. Maximal growth was observed at pH 7.0 except SP5 3 at pH 5.0, the optimum temperature was 42°C except SP5 3 at 37°C. After sequencing analysis as Bacillus subtilis (SP3 1 ), Bacillus subtilis (SP4) 1 , Pseudomonas sp (SP5 3 ) and Stenotrophomonas (SP6 2 ) respectively were identified. So these isolates can be exploited for bioremediation of coal.
