Periphytic bacteria found on the carapace and gills of crabs collected from near a tannery effluent outlet were shown to be able to concentrate chromium. By concentrating Cr, the bacteria contributed to the total Cr concentration of the crabs. Since crabs and other crustaceans are eaten by bottom feeding fish, bacteria may be contributing to the passage of Cr up the food chain.
从制革厂废水排放口附近采集的螃蟹的甲壳和鳃上发现的周丛细菌能够浓缩铬。通过浓缩 Cr，细菌有助于增加螃蟹的总 Cr 浓度。由于螃蟹和其他甲壳类动物是底栖鱼类的食物，因此细菌可能有助于 Cr 通过食物链的传递。
