Extensive industrial activities resulted in an increase in chromium (Cr) contamination in the
environment. The toxicity of Cr severely affects plant growth and development. Cr is also …

Hexavalent chromium is mobile, highly toxic and considered as a priority environmental
pollutant. Chromate reductases, found in chromium resistant bacteria are known to catalyse …

In the current industrial scenario, chromium (Cr) as a metal is of great importance, but poses
a major threat to the environment. Phytoremediation provides an environmentally …

The Cr (Ⅵ) removal way and Cr (Ⅵ) reducing site of Oceanobacillus oncorhynchi W4, a
novel Cr (Ⅵ) reducing bacterium, were investigated in this study. Results showed that about …

Chromium, specifically hexavalent chromium is one of the most toxic pollutants that are
released into soils by various anthropogenic activities. It has numerous adverse effects not …

In this study, a novel Cr (VI) tolerant strain CRB-7 identified as Bacillus sp., was isolated and
characterized for its high Cr (VI) reduction. The strain CRB-7 grew well and effectively …

Rapid industrialization and anthropogenic activities have produced huge amount of noxious
Cr (VI), which accumulate in the soil for longer period. As a consequence, that decreases …

Chromium pollution is increasing incessantly due to continuing industrialization. Of various
oxidation states, Cr 6+ is very toxic due to its carcinogenic and mutagenic nature. It also has …

Cadmium (Cd)-remediation by microorganisms has been frequently used due to
environmental friendliness, low cost and easy operation. However, the mechanisms of bio …

Prevalence of metal pollutants exerts negative effects on human health and environment,
thus propounding an urgent need for a safer substitute. This study was conducted to …
