Abstract Due to rapid urbanization, technological innovation, evolving consumption patterns, increasing population growth, and swift socioeconomic developments has unquestionably led to water pollution within the biosphere, thereby leading to environmental pollution. The main reasons are, effluents released from domestic and industries, constituting the toxic heavy metals, pesticides and chemical-based dyes. Even though Copper (Cu) is considered to be an important micro-nutrient for all living beings, it could be toxic when exposed at lower concentrations. Further, the biosorption process is considered to economical, rapid, needs minimal preparatory steps, highly efficient, requires no toxic chemicals, and permits regeneration of biosorbent material at the end of the process. The bio removal efficiency of copper ions by a natural bacterial isolate and a MTCC bacterial strain was comparatively studied for the duration of eight days by providing different copper concentrations. The samples were subjected to Atomic absorption spectrophotometric analysis. The obtained results were correlated statistically with multiple factors associated with the biosorption. The outcome from the study reveals, it may be employed to remove the toxic heavy metals released from industries in an eco-friendly manner.
