This activity was associated with the cell. Cr6+ reduction by free as well as immobilized cells was studied: cells in PVA- alginate had the highest ( 100%) Cr6+ removal efficiency in 24 h with reduction rates similar to free cells. Immobilized cells completely reduced 25 mg Cr6+ l(-1) in 24 h. PVA- alginate immobilized cells could be reused four times to completely reduce 25 mg Cr6+ l(-1) in 24 h each time. Chromate in a simulated effluent containing Cu2+, Mg2+, Mn2+ and Zn2+ was completely reduced by PVA- alginate immobilized cells within 9 h.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Article</style></work-type><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Foreign&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;1.639&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poopal, Ashwini C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Laxman, Ryali Seeta</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromate reduction by PVA-alginate immobilized streptomyces griseus in a bioreactor</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Biotechnology Letters</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Bioremediation</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Chromate reduction</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Immobilized cells</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyvinyl alcohol-alginate</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Streptomyces griseus</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JAN</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SPRINGER</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">71-76</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Microbial reduction of toxic Cr(6+) to the less toxic Cr(3+) is potentially a useful bioremediation process. Among the matrices tested for whole cell immobilization of an efficient chromate-reducing Streptomyces griseus strain, PVA-alginate was the most effective and was used for reduction of Cr(VI) in a bioreactor. Cr(6+) reduction efficiency decreased as Cr(6+) was increased from 2 to 12 mg l(-1) but increased with an increase in biomass concentration. However, increasing the flow rate from 2 to 8 ml h(-1) did not significantly affect Cr(6+) reduction. The reduction was faster in simulated effluent than in synthetic medium and complete removal of 8 mg Cr(6+) l(-1) from effluent and synthetic medium occurred in 2 and 12 h, respectively. Our results indicate that immobilized S. griseus cells could be applied for the large-scale bioremediation of chromate-containing effluents and wastewaters.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1.768</style></custom4></record></records></xml>
