Remobilization of chromium from starved and fresh subsurface bacterial consortium

Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Remobilization of chromium was studied using three types of cells in different physiological states. Cell age was not a factor in chromium remobilization processes. Both fresh and 50 day starved cells showed a similar pattern (rate) of chromium remobilization. Cells exposed to chromium for 50 days (to simulate groundwater conditions) released the most chromium during a 32 day remobilization period.
