Purification of chromate reductase and their bioremediation potential

Cr (VI) (Chromate) is a toxic, soluble environmental contaminant. Bacteria can reduce chromate to the insoluble and less toxic Cr (III), and thus chromate bioremediation is of interest.

Bacterial degradation of various hydrocarbons by Pseudomonas sp isolated from oil contaminated sites

The present work relates to isolation of promising Pseudomonas strain from the oil contaminated sites in service stations, Namakkal and then collecting a saline tolerant Pseudomonas strain from the coastal saline region of Rameswaram. These bacterial strains have been optimally characterized with regard to biodegradation of oil.
