Chromium and pentachlorophenol are of considerable concern as the metal and organic compound in the environment, and it has been found widespread use in the leather tanning and industrial activities. In view of the above bacterial consortium was developed by continuous enrichment of sediment core population of microbes in the chemostat in presence of pentachlorophenol as sole carbon source. The consortium contained three bacterial strains PCP1, PCP2, PCP3. One of the strains PCP3 had higher potentiality for the biosorption of chromium and PCP degradation. Five morphologically different fungi...
