“…In respect of Cr(VI) remediation, anaerobic microorganisms capable of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) reduction (i.e., Pseudomonas dechloromaticans , Enterobacter cloacae , Shewanella oneidensis , and Clostridium chromiireducens ) and with Cr(VI) tolerance (i.e., Bacillus sp., Leucobacter sp., Exiguobacterium sp., Microcococcus sp., Rhodococcus sp., Arthrobacter sp., Achromobacter sp., and Ochrobactrum sp.) have been reported ( Horitsu et al, 1987 ; Turick and Apel, 1997 ; Desai et al, 2008 ; Sarangi and Krishnan, 2008 ; Elangovan et al, 2010 ; Beretta et al, 2018 ; Kabir et al, 2018 ). Several studies also demonstrated that indirect Cr(VI) bioreduction is achievable through injections of biodegradable organic substrates that prompt anaerobic conditions and reductant production such as iron and sulfur species capable of mediating Cr(VI) reduction to Cr(III) ( Kim et al, 2001 ; Somenahally et al, 2013 ; Beretta et al, 2018 , 2019 ).…”
