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
M. Narayani,K. Vidya Shetty +1 more
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.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.
Stephen F. Altschul,Thomas L. Madden,Alejandro A. Schäffer,Jinghui Zhang,Zheng Zhang,Webb Miller,David J. Lipman +6 more
TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.

Design and Evaluation of Useful Bacterium-Specific PCR Primers That Amplify Genes Coding for Bacterial 16S rRNA
Julian R. Marchesi,Takuichi Sato,Andrew J. Weightman,Tracey Amanda Martin,John C. Fry,Sarah J. Hiom,William G. Wade +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
