Abstract
Cadmium ions in wastewater can be removed by biosorption on to Acinetobacter calca var. antratus, isolated from a wastewater sample from a copper refinery. There are two equillibrium states: the first, which is reached quickly, is probably direct adsorption, and the second may be due to the release of ion adsorption materials by lysed cells.
