Isolation and identification of chromium-resistant bacteria: Test application for prevention of chromium toxicity in plant
The purpose of this study was to isolate chromium resistant bacteria and characterize in depth before being applied for bioremediation or construction of chromium biosesnors. One of the major objectives was to identify the most useful strains with respect to chromium removal efficiency. Chromium resistant bacteria were isolated from tannery waste samples. These were characterized through biochemical tests and antibiotic assays. Cross metal reactivity, plasmid curing and cysteine quantifications were also performed. Gene sequencing was done for all the isolates and accession numbers received after submission to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). The removal capacity was also studied in broth cultures. The results were very encouraging since six new bacteria were recognised to withstand high concentrations of chromium. Out of these six bacteria, three i.e. Enterobacter aerogenes, Aeromonas sp., Acinetobacter sp. PD 12 performed very well by removing about 99% (average) from initial 19.8 ppm of Cr(VI) from a synthetic culture media. Enterobacter aerogenes, being the most efficient strain, was used to remediate hexavalent chromium from soil of potted plants- very encouraging results were obtained. These bacteria may be exploited for bioremediation of Cr (VI) and construction of microbial sensor in future.
