Bioaccumulation of fluoride from aqueous system and genotoxicity study on Allium cepa using Bacillus licheniformis
Abstract Highlights Efficacy of fluoride sorption by Bacillus licheniformis (KX646393) was explored. Fluoride sorption by Bacillus licheniformis (KX646393) was highly pH dependent. Fluoride was efficiently (97%) removed from contaminated ground water. SEM, TEM?EDX and FT?IR analysis authenticates the depiction of fluoride sorption. Genotoxicity on Allium cepa exposes the toxic effect of ground water fluoride. Removal […]
