Industrial effluents are one of the major contributors to environmental pollution, particularly inaquatic ecosystems, due to the presence of toxic heavy metals, organic pollutants, and nonbiodegradable substances (1). The persistent release of untreated or inadequately treatedwastewater from industries such as textile, metal plating, tannery, pharmaceuticals, andelectroplating poses serious ecological and public health threats (2). In this context, microbialbioremediation—particularly through biosorption and bioaccumulation
