Abstract
Washed cell suspensions of Desulfovibrio vulgaris rapidly reduced Cr(V I) to Cr(III) with H-2 as the electron donor. The c(3) cytochrome from this organism functioned as a Cr(VI) reductase. D. vulgaris may have advantages over previously described Cr(VI) reducers for the bioremedi ation of Cr(VI)-contaminated waters.
