| Abstract | Two species of cyanobacteria, Oscillatoria laete-virens (Crouan & Crouan) Gomont and Oscillatoria trichoides Szafer, were isolated from a polluted environment and studied for their Cr$^{6+}$ removal efficiency from aqueous solutions. The parameters studied included the solution pH, contact time, initial concentration of Cr$^{6+}$ and culture density. Living biomass is more efficient than dead biomass in Cr$^{6+}$ removal. Removal by living biomass involves bioreduction and biosorption. Below pH 3.1, bioreduction is favored and biosorption is dominant at higher pH. The highest removal through biosorption for living biomass was achieved between pH 5 and 5.9 and for dead biomass at pH 2. The maximum removal was on the tenth day of exposure for both the species. Cr$^{6+}$ removal increased from 0.2 to 0.4 g L$^{−1}$ of culture biomass with a decrease with further increase in biomass. Increased Cr$^{6+}$ concentration decreases growth of both the species over time. Both species tolerate a concentration as high as 30 mg L$^{−1}$ Cr$^{6+}$. There was no evidence of bioreduction in the case of dead biomass. Living biomass of O. laete-virens followed both Langmuir and Freundlich models with maximum sorptive capacity (q $_{max}$) of 21.88 mg g$^{−1}$. The results of dead biomass were well fitted only to Langmuir isotherm. O. trichoides living biomass did not follow either of the isotherms, but removed the metal to a maximum extent of 38.7mg g$^{−1}$. The removal was better described by Freundlich isotherm in case of dead biomass. The pseudo-first-order model describes the kinetics better than the pseudo-second-order model in the case of living biomass. Participation of carboxylic, carbonyl, and amino groups in Cr$^{6+}$ removal was confirmed by FTIR analysis. Both species seem to be promising biosorbents for Cr$^{6+}$. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
