Abstrakt: Serious hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] pollution has continuously threatened ecological security and public health. Microorganism-assisted remediation technology has strong potential in the treatment of environmental Cr(VI) pollution due to its advantages of high efficiency, low cost, and low secondary pollution. Sporosarcina saromensis M52, a strain with strong Cr(VI) removal ability, isolated from coastal intertidal zone was used in this study. Scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis indicated M52 was relatively stable under Cr(VI) stress and trace amount of Cr deposited on the cell surface. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses exhibited M52 could reduce Cr(VI) into Cr(III). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy showed the bacterial surface was mainly consisted of polysaccharides, phosphate groups, carboxyl groups, amide II (NH/CN) groups, alkyl groups, and hydroxyl groups, while functional groups involving in Cr(VI) bio-reduction were not detected. According to these characterization analyses, the removal of Cr(VI) was primarily depended on bio-reduction, instead of bio-adsorption by M52. Genome analyses further indicated the probable mechanisms of bio-reduction, including the active efflux of Cr(VI) by chromate transporter ChrA, enzymatic redox reactions mediated by reductases, DNA-repaired proteases ability to minimize the ROS damage, and the formation of specific cell components to minimize the biofilm injuries caused by Cr(VI). These studies provided a theoretical basis which was useful for Cr(VI) remediation, especially in terms of increasing its effectiveness. M52 realized the bioremediation of Cr(VI) majorly through bio-reduction, including Cr(VI) efflux, chromate reduction, DNA repair, and the formation of specific cell components, instead of bio-adsorption. [Display omitted] • Characterization analysis (SEM-EDX, FTIR, XRD and XPS) confirmed that M52 could reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) with poor biosorption capacity. • Genomic analysis showed that a large number of genes in M52 were involved in encoding Cr(VI) metabolic and transport related proteins. • M52 could reduce Cr(VI) mainly intracellularly.
