Diversity of bioactive compound producing actinobacteria isolated from natural
disaster affected marine environments

Abstract :

Different cereal husks of paddy (Oryza sativa), Indian millet (Pennisetum typhoides) and Black gram (Vigna mungo) were investigated as new biosorbent for the removal of Cr (VI) ions from aqueous solutions in laboratory condition. Adsorbent capacity of different concentrations of husks was determined by spectrophotometrically the paddy husk has more capacity to absorb the chromium than the Indian millet and black gram proved as a good candidate biosorption for treating waste waters containing low concentration of chromium.
