Chromium is a naturally occurring element found in rocks, animals, plants, soil and in
volcanic dust and gases. It exists in different oxidation states that range from+ 2 to+ 6. The …

Chromium (Cr) compounds are usually toxins and exist abundantly in two different forms, Cr
(VI) and Cr (III), in nature. Their contamination in any environment is a major problem. Many …

The release of hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)] into environments has resulted in many
undesirable interactions with biological systems for its toxic potential and mutagenicity …

In this study, bacteria cells served as a novel green pore-forming agent and template to
fabricate porous polyaniline (Bac@ PANI) by in situ oxidative polymerization. The achieved …

This study presents the ex situ batch and continuous bioremediation of tannery effluent
contaminated soil using Bacillus sp. isolated from hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) …

Extremophiles are the most fascinating life forms for their special adaptations and ability to
offer unique extremozymes or bioactive molecules. Halophiles, the natural inhabitants of …

The current study was aimed to characterize a bacterial strain isolated from Cr (VI)-polluted
sediments for its role in Cr (VI)-reduction as whole cell and by cell free extract. A new …

In this study, two Cr (VI)-reducing functional bacterial strains (TJ-1 and TJ-5) were
successfully isolated and screened from the chromium-contaminated soil from a real site …

Bioremediation studies of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) were investigated using an
indigenous bacterial strain namely, Sphingopyxis macrogoltabida SUK2c, isolated from …

Metals are necessary for plants and animals to function biologically, but presence of
massive quantities can disrupt the metabolic activities in an organism's systems. Chromium …
