Abstract
Abstract-The present study was investigated for the contamination level in river Yamuna, Delhi. A total 10 samples of Yamuna river water from different locations specifically under the territory of Delhi were collected and then analysed quantitatively for Total Bacterial Count (TBC), Total Coliform Count (TCC) as well as Total Yeast & Mold Count. Simulataneously, qualitative analysis for E.coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus was also made in order to confirm the pathogenicity of Yamuna water. The isolates isolated also showed potential heavy metal tolerance study because they show complete resistance against 1000ppm concentration of iron. Hence, they can be used for bioremediation purposes for the removal of heavy metals.
