Abstract
Bacteria, yeasts, protozoa and algae, observed in industrial effluents from tanneries, were checked for their possible use in the detoxifica tion of polluted water. Two bacterial strains were found to be highly resistant to Cr-VI. Several bacteria, yeasts and algae were observed t o be capable of reducing Cr-VI to Cr-III.
