Chromium is the toxic pollutant present in industrial effluents. This pollutant is found to be present beyond the permissible limits i.e. 50 µg /ml. in zinc industry and the tanneries. The bioremediation of chromium was tested by the use of micro organisms by viable cell technique, biosorption and immobilization technique at room temperature and at 37ºC . Eight microbial isolates were tested in the fortified solutions in the laboratory.
