ABSTRACT
A novel Pseudochrobactrum saccharolyticum strain NBRI-CRB 13, isolated from tannery sludge, was studied to grow up to 500 mgL-1 of Cr(VI) and showed Cr(VI) detoxification by reducing > 90% of Cr(VI) at different concentrations 25, 50 and 100 mgL-1. Kinetic studies showed that first-order models were fitted (R2 = 0.998) to the time-dependent Cr(VI) reduction with degradation rate constant (k) (1.03-0.429 h-1). Cr(VI) detoxification was primarily related to the extracellular fraction of microbial cells, which showed a maximum extracellular reductase enzyme activity led to 94.6% reduction of Cr(VI). Moreover, the strain showed maximum extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) production at 100 mgL-1 Cr(VI), which is presumably the reason for Cr(VI) removal as EPS serves as the metal binding site for Cr(VI) ions. Further, an optimization study using Box-Behnken design was conducted considering parameters viz., pH, temperature, and initial concentration of Cr(VI). The maximum percent reduction of Cr(VI) was obtained at pH 6.5, temperature 30 °C with 62.5 mgL-1Cr(VI) concentration. Further, the Cr(VI) reduction and adsorption ability of strain P. saccharolyticum NBRI-CRB13 were confirmed by SEM-EDS, FTIR, and XRD analyses. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of functional groups (-OH, -COOH, -PO4) on bacterial cell walls, which were more likely to interact with positively charged chromium ions. The study elucidated the reduction of Cr(VI) by the novel bacterium within 24 h using the response surface methodology approach and advocated its application in real-time situations.
