Abstract Hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] contamination is one of the main problems of
environmental protection because the Cr (VI) is a hazard to human health. The Cr (VI) form …

With increasing concerns on the ecological risks of pollutants, many efforts have been
devoted to revealing the toxic effects of pollutants on algae or bacteria in their monocultures …

The shewanellae are aquatic microorganisms with worldwide distribution. Their hallmark
features include unparalleled respiratory diversity and the capacity to thrive at low …

Heavy metal contamination is a global environmental issue as it poses a significant threat to
public health, and exposure to metals above a certain threshold level can cause deleterious …

Chromium is a non-essential and well-known toxic metal for microorganisms and plants. The
widespread industrial use of this heavy metal has caused it to be considered as a serious …

The anthropogenic inputs of hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] have increased enormously
during the past few decades and has become a challenge for life on earth and hence …

Microbial reduction of Cr (VI) to Cr (III) can mitigate environmental chromium toxicity. A
chromium, cadmium and nickel tolerating strain TCL with 97% 16S rRNA gene sequence …

Mine wastes pollute the environment with metals and metalloids in toxic concentrations,
causing problems for humans and wildlife. Microorganisms colonize and inhabit mine …

We know very little about the metabolic functioning and evolutionary dynamics of microbial
communities. Recent advances in comprehensive, sequencing-based methods, however …

For the first time, we demonstrate chromate (Cr (VI)) bioreduction using methane (CH4) as
the sole electron donor in a membrane biofilm reactor (MBfR). The experiments were …
