Evidence for the protective effect of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in treatment with gamma-rays and chromium (VI) oxide (CrO3) in somatic cells of Drosophila.
Due to its widespread industrial use, chromium is considered a dangerous environmental pollutant. It is known to inhibit plant growth and development. The present study provides the first evidence of the toxicity of this metal on the male haploid generation
Streptococcus thermophilus strains grown on skimmed milk produced a viscosifying, exocellular, and water-soluble polysaccharide which contains D-glucose, D-galactose, and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine in the ratio of 1:2:1. Methylation analysis identified the glycosidic linkages in the tetrasaccharidic repeating-unit, and Smith degradation and nitrous

Large volumes of preservative-treated wood containing toxic Cr, Cu and As salts are decommissioned worldwide. This study investigated the effectiveness of solid-state fermentation with copper-tolerant brown-rot fungi for the remediation of wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) and acid

We performed a 90-day repeated-dose inhalation toxicity study of soluble hexavalent chromium trioxide (CrO3 (VI)). Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were exposed to doses of CrO3 in the form of 0.5 approximately 5.0 microm aerosol at 0.00, 0.20, 0.50, and 1.25
