Pseudomonas mendocina when added in soil microcosms could immobilize 100  g (2 mM) chromate/g soil in 8 h by converting it into trivalent form. The chromate-contaminated soils, after microbiological treatment, supported growth of wheat seedlings without exerting any toxic effects. The method is potentially useful in the bioremediation of chromate-contaminated sites. © Rapid Science Ltd. 1998 |
