Highlights • New knowledge about the potential use of the Pseudomonas spp. genus to bioremediate affluent contaminated with heavy metals.• The isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas nitroreducens, and Pseudomonas alcaligenes had the capacity to tolerate concentrations higher than 50 mg/ml of lead.• Statistically significant differences were detected (p < 0.05) in the production of the exopolysaccharide (EPS) among the isolates.• Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Pseudomonas nitroreducens have 80% capacity to biosorber lead using live mass (minimum range from 80.9% to 87%).
