Abstract: A total of 35 heavy metals resistance and removal bacterial strains were isolated from samples of marine environment and enclosed industrial areas. All isolates were characterized by molecular method. The diversity of isolated bacteria was examined by the phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The phylogenetic analysis of the sequences revealed seven main taxonomic lineages. The phylogenetic tree illustrated discrimination between isolated bacteria from wastewater, industrials area and marine environment. Results showed new genetic differences and relationship between marine and industrial strains. Some Pseudomonas strains isolated from marine environment were well differentiated from those of industrial wastewater. Members of the genera Delftia and Bacterium formed a monophyletic group within the subdivision of the class. There was a clear differentiation between two groups of Pseudomonas and other groups of bacteria in the phylogenetic tree.
