Determination of Chromium(VI) reduction by acinetobacter haemolyticus using x-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy
Several types of microorganisms have been reported to reduce Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III) via enzymatic reactions. The main purpose of this study is to determine the reduction of Cr(VI) by a locally isolated bacterium, Acinetobacter haemolyticus (A. haemolyticus) using the x-ray absorption fine...

description | Several types of microorganisms have been reported to reduce Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III) via enzymatic reactions. The main purpose of this study is to determine the reduction of Cr(VI) by a locally isolated bacterium, Acinetobacter haemolyticus (A. haemolyticus) using the x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. XAFS analysis consisted of both the x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectra. XANES spectra of the rinsed Cr(VI)-laden A. haemolyticus biomass indicated that chromium was only present in the form of Cr (III). The nearest atoms coordinated to Cr(III) were oxygens in an octahedral geometry. The longer Cr-O bond lengths (~1.97 Å) obtained from the EXAFS spectra corroborated the presence of chromium as Cr(III) bonded to oxygen. These findings demonstrate the ability of A. haemolyticus to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) that was bound to oxygen atoms of the ligands in A. haemolyticus |
