Chromium is a common heavy metal widely present in aquatic environments. Cost-effective remediation of chromium-contaminated environment can be realized by microbial reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The genus Aeromonas species is one of such Cr(VI) reducers, whose reduction mechanism remains unreveal...
