Description 411-415
In the present work, the bioaccumulation of Cr (VI) by Artemia franciscana was investigated. Metallothionein protein plays
a key role in the uptake of Cr (VI) by Artemia
and it was estimated by the silver saturation method. Artemia (Brine Shrimp) was subjected to Cr (VI) initial
concentration of 40 ppm which was reduced to 2 ppm on 4th day of experimental
condition with removal efficiencies of 95%. The number of organisms were varied
to find out the maximum removal efficiency. Physical parameters such as pH were
maintained in alkaline condition of 9-10, temperature was maintained at room
temperature and 30-35 ppt of salinity condition was found to be optimum for the
survival and reduction of chromium by Artemia.
