Abstract
The Chromium (Cr) uptake ability of Cr-resistant bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis, yeast Candida etschellsii, and a protozoan Stylonychia mytilus, isolated from industrial waste water, was evaluated individually and in different combinations. It was found that the three types of microorganisms grown together in a culture medium could collectively uptake 90% of Cr(6+) from the culture medium as against 82% by bacterium + protozoan or yeast + protozoan combined culture, each. Consortium of bacterium, yeast and ciliates therefore could make much more efficient inoculum for remediation of Cr-contaminated industrial waste water.
