Bioremoval of toxic Molybdenum using dialysis tubing

Abstract: Abstract:The toxicity of molybdenum to ruminants and its general toxicity to spermatogenesis in animals are increasingly being reported. Its contamination of aquatic bodies has been reported, and this necessitates its removal. In this work, we utilize the dialysis tubing method coupled with the molybdenum-reducing activity of S. marcescens strain Dr.Y6 to remove molybdenum from solution. The enzymatic reduction of molybdenum into the colloidal molybdenum blue traps the reduced product in the dialysis tubing. T… Show more

“…A concentration of copper at 1.0 mg/L leads to a complete cessation of reduction. This was also observed in many Mo-reduction works [32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41].…”

“…2), which shows close fitting to the model with adjusted correlation coefficients of between 0.96 and 0.99 indicating good fittings. The modified Gompertz model has been successfully utilized to model Mo reduction in various bacteria [30,[41][42][43] and is much more accurate than the normal method of linearizing and otherwise sigmoidal model through log or natural log transformation. The model also shows that as the concentration of copper was increased, this led to a decrease in Mo reduction rates and an increase in the lag period as well.…”

“…The molybdenum reduction to molybdenum blue is a detoxification process, whereas the production of Mo-blue is a growth-associated process [66,67,90,[94][95][96]102,109,131,149,150]. Various approaches to reduction modeling have been previously used [151], including logistic [144,152], Gompertz [144,153], Richards [144,154], Schnute [144], , von Bertalanffy [156,157], Buchanan three-phase [158], and the Huang model, which was used most recently [159] (Table 1) to model Mo-blue production from bacteria.…”

“…In addition to bioremediation of molybdenum and potential recycling of molybdenum from industrial effluents, this colloidal form can be trapped in membranes such as dialysis tubing. [30,31]. We revisited our previous works with the molybdate-reducing bacterium Serratia marcescens strain DRY6 local isolate [32] by introducing more sampling locations for the rapid biomonitoring tool for heavy metals.…”
