Cyanobacteria are blue-green Gram-negative and photosynthetic bacteria which are seen
as one of the most morphologically numerous groups of prokaryotes. Because of their ability …

In recent years, overexplorations of ore and the growth of industries are the prime factors in
the release of heavy metals in environments. As a result, the food crops and water bodies …

Ubiquitous presence of cyanobacteria even under extreme conditions since millions of years
is due to their ease in adaptability to these environments through various cellular and …

The use of cyanobacteria for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater is gaining interest
due to its lower cost of operation and being environmentally benign. As chromium (Cr (VI)) is …

Nowadays, the bioremediation of toxic pollutants is a subject of interest in terms of health
issues and environmental cleaning. In the present review, an eco-friendly, cost-effective …

The transformation mechanisms of Cr (VI) in agricultural soils at the molecular level remain
largely unknown due to the multitude of abiotic and biotic factors. In this study, the different …

The present work focused on the isolation of a bacterial strain multi-resistant to heavy metals
with a high potential for reducing hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) and studied its Cr (VI) …

The present study relates to the use of cyanobacterium Nostoc muscorum as a model
system for removal of heavy metals such as Pb and Cd from aquatic systems. The effects of …

Nostoc muscorum was isolated from a coal mining pit in Chiehruphi, Meghalaya, India, and
its potential to remove Zn (II) and Cu (II) from media and the various biochemical alterations …

Agricultural products and by-products are now widely used for removal of hexavalent
chromium from waste water. This option is more efficient and less expensive than …
