The aim of this study was to evaluate the manganese and nickel biosorption capacities of Jatropha curcas seed husk and its endophyte Aspergillus niger. We found that the optimum concentrations for Mn to be adsorbed by J. curcas seed husk and A. niger dry biomasses were 1.1 and 3.3 mg/L, respectively. For Ni, they were 4.56 and 6.84 mg/L, respectively. The highest biosorption capacities for J. curcas seed husk and A. niger were observed at pH 6 and 8, respectively, for Mn, and 4-8 and 6, respectively, for Ni. The highest removal percentages of Mn by J. curcas seed husk and A. niger biomasses were at 30°C and 40°C, respectively, whereas for Ni, they were 30–60°C, and 50 and 60°C, respectively. Augmentation of both biosorbents resulted in 100% removal of Ni. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy verified the bioremediation ability of both biosorbents
