Cover Story: The biosorption of heavy metals has become an attractive alternative to conventional methods and is considered a feasible, environmentally friendly and often low-cost option. Five microorganisms were isolated from different environments and used for the biosorption of Cd(II) from aqueous solutions in batch mode to expand upon the existing studies and generate new data related to the main microorganisms that could be successfully applied to the removal of heavy metals from wastewaters. The results revealed that almost all the functional groups were present on the surface of the biosorbent but also their involvement in Cd(II) biosorption differed from biosorbent to biosorbent. The phosphodiester, amide and hydroxyl groups found on the cell surface of Bacillus megaterium, Cladosporium sp., Rhodotorula sp. and Trichosporon sp. were the main groups involved in Cd(II) biosorption.
