ABSTRACT.
Comparative analysis of the results of experimental studies aimed at assessing the use of bioremediation potential of probiotic strains of Bacillus sp. under conditions of acute intoxication with Zn and Cu indicates a significant decrease in these elements in the studied samples of the experimental groups. The maximum sorption indicators
for zinc intoxication are recorded for the use of B. subtilis 534 and amount to 60.51%, while for copper intoxication the
maximum values of the percentage of excretion were 45.29% for B. cereus IP 5832 «Baktisubtil» and 45.88% B. subtilis VKPM V 7048 and B. licheniformis VKPM V 7038 «Vetom 2».
