Abstract:The present study focuses on removing hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) using indigenous metal-resistant bacterial strains isolated from a common industrial effluent treatment plant, a contaminated site in Vishakhapatnam. Three high metal-resistant isolates were screened by growing them in nutrient agar media containing different Cr(VI) concentrations for 24 h at 35 ± 2 °C. The three strains’ minimum inhibitory concentrations of Cr(VI) were examined at neutral pH and 35 ± 2 °C temperature. Morphological, biochemica… Show more
