| Abstract | This article reports on the isolation and characterization of a Cr(VI) resistant bacterial strain, having plant growth promoting properties to improve general growth of plant in chromium-contaminated soil through rhizosphere colonization. The strain was isolated from the sludge of waste canal carrying industrial effluents. The minimum inhibitory concentration of chromium to this strain was found to be 450 and 400 mM in complex and minimal media, respectively. The strain also showed varied degree of resistance to Cd, Co, As, Ni and Zn. It exhibited potential Cr(VI) reducing ability under aerobic culture conditions, and the factors affecting Cr(VI) reduction by this strain were evaluated. The optimum pH and temperature required to achieve maximum Cr(VI) reduction values were 7 and 35°C, respectively. Higher concentration of Cr(VI) slowed down the reduction, but with longer incubation time it reduced nearly all detectable amount of Cr(VI). The strain showed positive response to IAA production and phosphate solubilization. It promoted the growth of chilli plants in waste-fed soil with or without additional Cr through its establishment in rhizosphere. The successful establishment of KUCr3 in the rhizosphere of chilli plants helped to reduce Cr uptake by the test plant. This strain shows a promise that the multifarious role of this strain would be useful in the Cr-contaminated rhizosphere soil as a good bioremediation and plant growth promoting agent as well. Through biochemical characterization and 16S rDNA sequence analysis, the strain KUCr3, as the name given to it, was identified as a strain of Cellulosimicrobium cellulans. |

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.
