Bioremediation of Cr(VI) using novel thermophilic bacteria Brevibacillus borstelensis SSAU-3 T: optimization, mechanism and phytotoxicity study.
Article in Biodegradation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Rapid industrialization and advancement of chemical fertilizers in agriculture get infused with water causing heavy pollution of inorganic pollutants has become a serious problem. This research focuses on the utilization of a thermophilic bacteria Brevibacillus borstelensis, SSAU-3 T in the bioremediation of hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)). The strain has capability in > 99% removal of 40 ppm Cr (VI). Further optimization was studied by varying parameters (pH, Inoculum size, salinity, volume and temperature) based on Cr(VI) removal capabilities. Removal mechanism was determined by studying thermodynamic, kinetic, and isotherm under optimized parameters: pH 7, salinity 5 g/L, inoculum size 2%, medium volume 20 mL, temperature 55 °C which resulted that Redlich-Peterson isotherm model is a best fit for this study. Characterization of functional groups and bonds present on bacterial cell surface before and after treatment with chromium were optimized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and surface morphology changes were also observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. A phytotoxicity study was conducted on wheat, which showed that bacterial secondary metabolites were not toxic. The study highlights an eco-friendly and cost-effective approach to mitigate Cr(VI) toxicity using thermophilic microbes from hot springs.
