A New Haloalkaliphilic Member of the Genus Salisediminibacterium Capable of Efficient Chromate Reduction
摘要
Abstract
A new haloalkaliphilic member of the genus Salisediminibacterium (family Bacillaceae) with high chromate-reducing activity with a broad range of conditions was isolated. Reduction efficiency after 3 days was up to 99% at initial Cr(VI) concentrations 15 and 100 mg/L for mineral and organic media, respectively. Effect of organic matter on the rate of chromate reduction was shown. The isolate MB1000 differed from the presently described members of the genus Salisediminibacterium in its physiological characteristics.
