Two cultures of chromium reducing bacteria have been isolated from samples of water accumulated at the bottom of an open-cut chromium deposit and from industrial sewage. The cultures were found to be identical. The cultures are described and their taxonomical position is discussed. They have been classed as Psuedomonas chromatophila sp. nov. the cultures reduce Cr(VI) from crocoite PbCrO4 to Cr(III). A possibility of chromium reducing bacteria being involved in the conversion of crocoite to chromite in the oxidation zone of chromite deposits is discussed.
从露天开采铬矿床底部积水样本和工业污水中分离出了两种铬还原菌培养物。发现这两种培养物是相同的。对这些培养物进行了描述，并讨论了它们的分类地位。它们被归类为嗜铬假单胞菌新种。这些培养物可将铬酸铅中的Cr(VI)还原为Cr(III)。还讨论了铬还原菌参与铬铁矿矿床氧化带中铬酸铅向铬铁矿转化的可能性。
