Hexavalent chromium reduction by bacteria from tannery effluent.
Chromium is generated from several industrial processes. It occurs in different oxidation states, but Cr(III) and Cr(VI) are the most common ones. Cr(VI) is a toxic, soluble environmental contaminant. Some bacteria are able to reduce hexavalent chromium to the insoluble and less toxic Cr(III), and thus chromate bioremediation is of considerable interest. An indigenous chromium-reducing bacteria...
متن کاملCarcinogenicity of hexavalent chromium.
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a commonly used industrial metal, is a well known human lung carcinogen. Epidemiology and animal studies suggest that the particulate Cr(VI) compounds, specifically the water insoluble compounds, are the more potent carcinogens; however, the carcinogenic mechanism remains unknown. Here we summarize recent Cr(VI)-induced human tumour, in vivo, cell culture and in vi...
متن کاملBiotransformation of Hexavalent Chromium by Acinetobacter iwofii
In the present study, bio reduction of hexavalent Chromium, a transition metal, known for its high solubility and carcinogenicity, using a sewage isolate was tested under controlled laboratory conditions. The objective of the study included determination of the extent of bio degradation of Cr[VI] by the isolate, characterization of the isolate and testing the degradation potential of the isolat...
متن کاملIsolation of chromium resistant Bacillus sp. MRKV and reduction of hexavalent chromium potassium dichromate
The ability of Bacillus sp. MRKV isolated from tannery effluent which shows resistant towards hexavalent chromium potassium dichromate (K2Cr2O7) was evaluated in this study. The bacterial strain was assayed for its reducing ability towards K2Cr2O7. The study revealed that the isolated strain has the ability to reduce the hexavalent chromium and the optimal conditions required for the chromium r...
