  1. Chromate Bioremediation: Formation and Fate of Organo-Cr(III) ComplexesLuying Xun1, Brent Peyton2, Sue Clark1 ,Dave Younge1Washington State University1Montana State University2

  2. Cr(VI) Cr(III) Bioremediation Primarily industrial process Common Valence States of Chromium Natural Contaminant Non-carcinogenic Carcinogenic Insoluble (pH 7) Chromate, CrO42- Trace element Soluble (pH 7) Reactive Most stable

  3. Many microorganisms can reduce Cr(VI) Examples: Shewanella spp. Geobacter spp. Desulfovibrio spp. Deinococcus radiodurans Cellulomonas spp. Enterobacter spp. Pseudomonas spp. Escherichia coli Streptomyces spp. Fungi and more.

  4. Mechanisms of Chromate Reduction Fortuitous reduction by: • Glutathione 1 • Ascorbate (Vit. C) 1 • H2S or Fe(II) 1 • Flavin reductase • Quinone reductase 1 • Cytochrome C 1 • Hydrogenase 1 Couple to anaerobic respiration 1 • Possible, but only one report 1From literature

  5. FMN and FAD are well known enzyme cofactors Riboflavin vitamin B2 FMN: flavin mononucleotide FAD: flavin adenine dinucleotide

  6. FMN and FAD FMNH2 and FADH2 reduce metals, quinones Flavin Reductase (Fre) is Common in Cell NADH + H+ H2O2 Fre O2 NAD+

  7. Cr(VI) Reduction rates by E. coli Fre Anaerobic Cr(VI) Reduction (mmol mg-1 min-1) Flavin 76.7 + 0.6 FAD 71.3 + 1.1 FMN Riboflavin 96.5 + 6.4

  8. Control 10 mM 25 mM Formation of Soluble Complexes after Cr(VI) Reduction by Fre Organo-Cr(III) CrPO4 Geoff Puzon

  9. The Product is NAD+-Cr(III) Complex • - NAD+:Cr(III) ratio is 2:1 • Identified as a polymer by using • Dialysis • Size Exclusion Chromatography • Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Geoff Puzon

  10. Organo-Cr(III) production is common (End product) Fortuitous reduction by: • Glutathione • Ascorbate (Vit. C) • H2S or Fe(II)1 • Quinone reductase • Flavin reductase • Cytochrome C • Hydrogenase Organo-Cr(III) Organo-Cr(III) Organo-Cr(III) Organo-Cr(III) Organo-Cr(III) Organo-Cr(III) N/A 1In the presence of organic ligands.

  11. Hypothesis: Organo-Cr(III) is readily formed during Cr(VI) reduction in the presence of organics Experiments: Control 5 mM Cr(VI) 10 mM dithionite 50 mM KPi (pH 7) Cr(III) precipitates With selected metabolites 5 mM Cr(VI) 10 mM dithionite 50 mM KPi (pH 7) Organo-Cr(III) Geoff Puzon

  12. Soluble Organo-Cr(III) end products Control No organic GSH-Cr(III) Serine-Cr(III) Lactate-Cr(III) Malate-Cr(III) Cysteine-Cr(III) Oxaloacetate-Cr(III) Pyruvate-Cr(III)

  13. Absorbance Spectra Peak Absorbance Cr(NO3)3= 579nm Cys-Cr(III)= 584nm Mal-Cr(III)= 595nm Ser-Cr(III)= 600nm GSH-Cr(III)= 604nm Ox-Cr(III)= 607nm Cysteine-Cr(III) GSH-Cr(III) Malate-Cr(III) Serine-Cr(III) Absorbance Oxaloacetate-Cr(III) Cr(NO3)3 Wavelength (nm)
