TLDR
A pilot-scale trickling filter was constructed and tested for biological chromium(VI) removal from industrial wastewater and the low operating cost combined with the high hexavalent chromium reduction rates indicates that this technology may offer a feasible solution to a very serious environmental problem.

Biosorption and bioreduction of Cr(VI) by a microalgal isolate, Chlorella miniata.

TL;DR: The ability and mechanism of a microalgal isolate, Chlorella miniata to remove Cr(VI) were investigated and it was confirmed that amino group on the algal biomass was the main adsorption site for Cr( VI) biosorption in acidic pH while the reduced Cr(III) was mainly sequestered by carboxylate group.

Chromium-Resistant Bacteria and Their Environmental Condition for Hexavalent Chromium Removal: A Review

TL;DR: In this paper, the main machinery of the process, the microbes, and their conditions, which decide the fate of this heavy metal, should be appropriate for efficient bioremoval of hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI) by bacteria.

Chromium reducing and plant growth promoting novel strain Pseudomonas aeruginosa OSG41 enhance chickpea growth in chromium amended soils

TL;DR: The present finding suggests that the bioinoculant effectively reduced the toxicity of hexavalent chromium to chickpea plants and concurrently enhanced the biological and chemical characteristics of chickPEa, when grown in chromium treated soils.

Design and Evaluation of Useful Bacterium-Specific PCR Primers That Amplify Genes Coding for Bacterial 16S rRNA

TL;DR: PCR primers 63f and 1387r were found to be more useful for 16S rRNA gene amplification in ecological and systematic studies than PCR amplimers that are currently more generally used.

Potential hazards of hexavalent chromate in our drinking water.

TL;DR: This treatise has been inspired by recent reviews and speculations that suggest that the authors may safely drink hexavalent Cr in great excess of the current EPA and states drinking water standards of 50-100 ppb.

Chromium (VI) biosorption and bioaccumulation by chromate resistant bacteria.

TL;DR: In this study, strains that are capable of bioaccumulating Cr(VI) were isolated from treated tannery effluent of a common effluent treatment plant and biosorption capabilities of living and dead cells were analysed.
