What is Marine Bacteria Reducing Hexavalent Chromium about?

1) An enrichment consortium and isolate of sulfate-reducing bacteria were obtained from metal-contaminated marine sediments in Hong Kong. 2) These bacteria were able to reduce highly toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) enzymatically into less toxic trivalent chromium (Cr3+) under anaerobic conditions. 3) The enrichment consortium reduced 98.5% of 0.6 mM Cr6+ in 168 hours, while the isolate reduced 94.5% of 0.36 mM Cr6+ in 288 hours. Adsorption was not found to be the major mechanism of chromium reduction or r
