Altered elemental composition of the cell wall of a pseudomonas strain having inducible tolerance mechanism to chromium(VI)

Different types of microorganisms have been isolated having certain resistance mechanisms to heavy metals including chromium. This paper focuses on (i) the characteristics of the tolerance mechanism of the Pseudomonas strain investigated, (ii) the effect of chromium(VI) on cell wall composition and...

Summary:Different types of microorganisms have been isolated having certain resistance mechanisms to heavy metals including chromium. This paper focuses on (i) the characteristics of the tolerance mechanism of the Pseudomonas strain investigated, (ii) the effect of chromium(VI) on cell wall composition and (iii) the altered sensitivity of untreated and chromium(VI) treated cells to ultrasound.
