Bioremediation of hexavalent chromium by transformation of Escherichia coli DH5α with chromate reductase (ChrR) genes of Pseudomonas putida isolated from tannery effluent.

Aims: Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)), a toxic heavy metal, is a serious pollutant from tannery effluent, and its accumulation in soil and water causes severe environmental concerns and increasing public health issues. The present study focuses on the isolation and identification of chromium-reducing bacteria collected from the tannery industry in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. Chromium-reducing bacteria Pseudomonas putida were identified by 16S rRNA sequencing followed by BLAST search.

Mitochondria-targeted acridine-based dual-channel fluorescence chemosensor for detection of Sn and CrO ions in water and its application in discriminative detection of cancer cells.

The goal of the present work was to fabricate a new low-cost, easy-to-prepare, dual-channel fluorescence chemosensor comprised of acridine-diphenylacetyl moieties (NDA) to enable remarkable Sn detection in water and biological medium. The resulting NDA-Sn complex was utilized for the distinguished identification of CrO ions from other anions and biomolecules. These investigations involve the absorption, fluorescence, and electrochemical methods for the detection of Sn and CrO ions in pure water.
