A pure bacterial culture utilizing chromates and bichromates as oxygen donors during growth on organic substances in anaerobic conditions was isolated from active ooze of sewage and industrial wastes containing a weak solution of chromates. A medium for growth of the bacterium was selected, and its morphological and cultural properties were studied. Chromates and bichromates are reduced only in anaerobic conditions by the bacterium or active ooze containing it, the hexavalent chromium becoming trivalent. The culture does not belong to any known species and has been therefore classed as Pseudomonas dechromaticans.
从含有弱铬酸盐溶液的污水和工业废料的活性淤泥中分离出一种纯细菌培养物，该培养物在厌氧条件下利用铬酸盐和重铬酸盐作为生长于有机物质上的氧供体。选择了该细菌生长的培养基，并研究了其形态学和培养特性。铬酸盐和重铬酸盐仅在厌氧条件下被该细菌或含有该细菌的活性淤泥还原，六价铬变为三价铬。该培养物不属于任何已知物种，因此被归类为脱铬假单胞菌。
