Abstract:
:In this paper, we report the chromium(VI) reduction by filtrates of Acidithiobacillus and Thiobacillus cultures. Chromium(VI) reduction by filtrates of A. ferrooxidans cultures under acidic conditions was higher than that observed for A. thiooxidans. However, at pH close to 7, chromium(VI) reduction by filtrates of T. thioparus cultures was as high as that by filtrates of A. thiooxidans cultures and much higher than that observed for A. ferrooxidans cultures at the same pH. The capability of these cultures to reduce chromium(VI) was associated specifically with the fraction of cultures (cells, sulphur and associated sulphur compounds) retained by filtration through a 0.45mum filter. In the fraction that comes from A. thiooxidans culture, polythionates (S(x)O(6)(2-)) with 3-7 sulphur atoms were detected and identified (by HPLC with MS as detector). The model of vesicles containing polythionates, sulphur and water agrees with our results.
