Abstract excerpt
The paper describes the selection of chromate-resistant mutants of the yeast Pichia guilliermondii with a higher chromate-reducing activity and reports the EPR-study of Cr(V)-generation in the extra-cellular medium during the reduction of chromate by the yeast culture. It is shown that the reduction of chromate to Cr(III) species runs through the extra-cellular generation of Cr(V)-intermediate(s), thus supporting...
