Abstract
Se estudió el efecto de cromo (VI) y (III) sobre el crecimiento de Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 con
el fin de determinar la toxicidad de estas especies químicas. El estudio fue realizado en dos
condiciones experimentales: soluciones unimetal de cromo (III o VI) y en soluciones multimetal
conteniendo además plomo y cadmio. Se observa que el cromo hexavalente inhibe el crecimiento de
Escherichia coli, cuando se encuentra en un rango de concentración de 25 a 100 ppm, similar al de
efluentes industriales, y que dicho efecto es potenciado por la presencia de plomo, que per se no
modifica la viabilidad bacteriana. Por otro lado, las concentraciones bajas de cromo (VI, 0.05 - 5
ppm) no alteran el crecimiento pero producen una estimulación en presencia de plomo o cadmio. La
forma trivalente de cromo no modifica el crecimiento bacteriano a concentraciones bajas (25 a 100
ppm) pero causa una estimulación a concentraciones más altas (200 a 400 ppm).
The effect of chromium (III) and (VI) on the growth of Escherichia coli ATCC 35218 was studied to determine the toxicity of these chemical species. The study was performed in two experimental conditions: single chromium solutions (III or VI) and multimetal solutions containing chromium and either lead or cadmium. Hexavalent chromium, at concentrations from 25 to 100 ppm, similar to those found in industrial effluents, inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli. This inhibitory effect is increased by the presence of lead, which does not modify per se the bacterial viability. On the other hand, low concentrations of chromium (VI, 0.05-5 ppm) do not alter bacterial growth but cause stimulation in the presence of either lead or cadmium. The trivalent form of chromium does not modify the bacterial growth at low concentrations (25 to 100 ppm) but causes stimulation at high concentrations (200 to 400 ppm).
