A novel cell surface display system for metal uptake was developed using CS3 pili of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, which is a suitable system for display of heterologous peptides. The recombinant bacteria producing the hybrid pili containing the hexahistidine peptide accumulated high concentrations of Cd2+ and Ni2+ at 656.2 and 276.5 nmol per mg dry weight of bacterial cell, respectively. The recombinant bacteria may be useful in water and waste water treatment.
