Chromium and pentachlorophenol are of considerable concern as the
metal and organic compound in the environment, and it has been
found widespread use in the leather tanning and industrial
activities. In view of the above bacterial consortium was developed
by continuous enrichment of sediment core population of microbes in
the chemostat in presence of pentachlorophenol as sole carbon
source. The consortium contained three bacterial strains PCP1,
PCP2, PCP3. One of the strains PCP3 had higher potentiality for the
biosorption of chromium and PCP degradation. Five morphologically
different fungi were also isolated from leather tanning effluent
for large scale removal of chromium in which Aspergillus sp. and
Hirsutella sp. had higher potency to remove chromium but less
efficient to degrade pentachlorophenol. The potency of Aspergillus
sp. for removal of chromium was evaluated and optimized in shake
flask culture and in bioreactor at different pH, carbon and
nitrogen source. The enzyme, chromate reductase was isolated and
partially purified from bacteria (PCP3), which provided future
application of enzyme in chromium reduction for clean and green
environment.
