Abstract
The reduction of Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III) was proved to be mediated by lactate, generated by a lactic acid bacterium, 99% similar to Pediococcus acidilactici as demonstrated by molecular methods The reduction of Cr(VI) took place extracellularly where it reacts with the lactic acid produced during the process of glycolysis.
