Chromate-resistant bacterium UT8 was isolated from tannery effluent. The cultural conditions for strain UT8 were optimized for maximum chromate removal and exopolymer production. SEM-EDS analysis of strain UT8 revealed variations under Cr(vi) stress related to nonstress. The FTIR analysis of exopolymer under chromate stress indicated vibrational shifts for metal ion chelation.
