- Abstract
The article presents the study on the investigation of the interaction of chromium on the soil bacterium Pseudomonas flourescens and the evaluation of the biochemical adaptation to abiotic-environmental stress. The influence of iron on the interaction between chromium and the microbe was also examined in an effort to assess its suitability in metal waste management. Pseudomonas fluorescens ATCC 13525 was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection in Rockville, Maryland and was maintained at 4&x00B0;C by monthly subculture on a mineral citrate medium solidified by the inclusion of 2% agar. This study shows that the response of Pseudomonas fluorescens is quite disparate when chromium is the sole metallic stress and when it is present together with iron.
