The aim of this work was to study the potential of  Sporosarcina pasteurii  586S and  Bacillus megaterium  1295S isolated from sewage treatment plants (STPs) in removing of nickel ions from the aqueous solution. The bacterial cells were used as living and dead cell biomass. The efficiency of bio-removal process was investigated as a response for nickel and biomass concentrations, time, pH and temperature. The bio-removal capacity (Q max ) of both strains were compared. The highest bio-removal percentage was recorded by dead cells in comparison to living cells. Dead cell biomass of  B. megaterium  1295S exhibited higher efficiency for bio-removing of Ni 2+  than  S. pasteurii  586S at196.4 and 200.2 mg Ni 2+  g -1 , respectively. It can be concluded that both bacterial strains have high potential to be applied in the biotechnology for removing of Ni 2+  ions, however, dead cells of  B. megaterium  1295S is the most potent.
