Metagenomics of cyanide containing wastewater
Cyanide-containing wastewater samples were collected from the wastewater treatment plant of a steel industry. The concentrations of cyanide and co-contaminants were estimated and found to exceed the permissible limits established by WHO, USEPA, and CPCB. To investigate the microbial community structure and potential cyanide-degrading organisms, the samples were subjected to metagenomic analysis.
