Reduction of Chromate by Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Its c(3) Cytochrome

D R Lovley et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1994 Feb.

Abstract

Washed cell suspensions of Desulfovibrio vulgaris rapidly reduced Cr(VI) to Cr(III) with H(2) as the electron donor. The c(3) cytochrome from this organism functioned as a Cr(VI) reductase. D. vulgaris may have advantages over previously described Cr(VI) reducers for the bioremediation of Cr(VI)-contaminated waters.
