title: [Chromate reduction by Pseudomonas sp. str. 10 in the presence of some heavy metals and alternative electron acceptors].
abstract: Pseudomonas sp. str. 10 reduces chromate with a rate of 0.54 mg / L.h. The availability of Cd2+ and Zn2+ in the medium has no noticeable effect on the rate or slightly increases it. The presence of nickel and copper in the ionic form in the medium resulted in a decrease of chromate reduction rate 2.4 and 4.2 times, respectively. Change of these metals into hydroxide form significantly lowers their negative influence. Iron (III) both in ionic and hydroxide form inhibits the reduction of chromate by Pseudomonas sp. 10. Joint presence of all studied metals decreases their negative impact on chromate reduction, therefore these metals may be neutralized together without a significant lowering of the process efficacy on condition that copper-containing drain will be cleaned separately. The presence of alternative acceptors of electrons inhibited the reduction of chromate. Sulfate and oxyanions of chlorine - chlorate and perchlorate have the highest inhibitory effect on chromate reduction.
