BIOREMEDIATION OF CHROMIUM BY THE AQUATIC MACROPHYTE CALDESIA PARANASSIPOLIA (L) PARLS. VINCENT, M. MARY JEE JEE CRUZ AND A. LEO THOMASAbstract Voting plants of Caldesia paranassipolia were selected and analysed to study their role in bioremoval of chromium. The observations showed the uptake of chromium by the plant samples show increase in chromium as the concentration increase. It has been interpreted that due to increase in the concentration and exposure to number of days, the uptake of chromium also increses. Thus by the introduction of biological agent such as Caldesta paranassipolia we can reduce the contamination of natural habitat at a lower cost.
