TLDR
Results demonstrate that both methods of bacterial treatment (free and immobilized) were efficient in reducing the pollutant load of tannery effluent as well as in reducing genotoxic effects, however, treatment with immobilized cells was more effective.

Chromium speciation, bioavailability, uptake, toxicity and detoxification in soil-plant system: A review.

TL;DR: There is a dire need to monitor biogeochemical behavior of Cr in soil-plant system, as Chromium induces phytotoxicity by interfering plant growth, nutrient uptake and photosynthesis, inducing enhanced generation of reactive oxygen species, causing lipid peroxidation and altering the antioxidant activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent bioreduction of hexavalent chromium in wastewater treatment: A review

TL;DR: Variation of different physical, chemical and environmental parameters affecting the efficiency of the bioremediation process have impacted on the design of bioreactors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hexavalent chromium reduction potential of Cellulosimicrobium sp. isolated from common effluent treatment plant of tannery industries.

TL;DR: This multi-drug and multi-metal resistant bacterium can be used as a potential agent for the effective bioremediation of metal contaminated sites.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromium Bioaccumulation and Its Impacts on Plants: An Overview.

TL;DR: The current review summarizes the understanding of Cr toxicity in plants via discussing the possible mechanisms involved in its uptake, translocation and sub-cellular distribution, along with its interference with the other plant metabolic processes such as chlorophyll biosynthesis, photosynthesis and plant defensive system.

Allium cepa test in environmental monitoring: a review on its application.

TL;DR: In the face of all the advantages that the A. cepa test system offers, it has been widely used to assess the impacts caused by xenobiotics, characterizing an important tool for environmental monitoring studies, where satisfactory results have been reported.
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.
