title: [Reduction of chromium (VI) by reference bacterial strains].
abstract: Collection bacterial strains were found to be capable of chromium (VI) reduction although they had not been in contact with chromium compounds before. Strains capable of nitrate respiration could use bichromate ions as a terminal electron acceptor in the absence of competing acceptors. Cr(VI) was reduced to Cr(III) when bichromate was added to the cultural broth whose redox potential reached -140 mV.
