About this document

Bacterial Resistance to Chromium Toxicity by Tiên Trần is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides an overview of bacterial mechanisms for chromium (Cr) resistance and reduction, with a focus on recent advances. It discusses how Cr pollution is increasing due to industrial activities. Cr exists in multiple oxidation states, with hexavalent Cr6+ being the most toxic and mobile form. Bacteria in Cr-contaminated environments have evolved resistance strategies like reducing Cr6+ uptake, biosorption, and oxidative stress response. Additionally, bacterial reduction of Cr6+ to less toxic
