Abstract
Growth conditions can significantly affect the removal efficiency of heavy metals by microorganisms. The goal of this study was enhancing the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) and improving the application of Acinetobacter sp. Cr1 (GenBank accession number of 16S rDNA sequence, MN900681). This study focused on pH, Cr(VI) concentration and culture time, which were the major influence factors for removal efficiency of Cr(VI). A central composite design was employed to optimize the removal efficiency by optimizing three variables. The optimum growth conditions were as: pH of 9.52, Cr(VI) concentration of 128.55 mg l-1, culture time of 43.30 h, and the predicted and actual maxima were 65.13% and 67.26%, respectively. Therefore, it is suggested that the strain Acinetobacter sp. Cr1 had a promising potential to be used for bioremediation of Cr(VI).
