Abstract
This review basically concerned with the application of different Schiff bases (SB) based fluorimetric (turn-off and turn-on) and colorimetric chemosensors for the detection of heavy metal cations particularly Al(III), Fe(III), and Cr(III) ions. Chemosensors based on Schiff bases have exhibited outstanding performance in the detection of different metal cations due to their facile and in-expensive synthesis, and their excellent coordination ability with almost all metal cations and stabilize them in different oxidation states. Moreover, Schiff bases have also been used as antifungal, anticancer, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and antimalarial etc. The Schiff base also can be used as an intermediate for the formation of various heterocyclic compounds. In this review, we have focused on the research work performed on the development of chemosensors (colorimetric and fluorometric) for rapid detection of trivalent metal cations particularly Al(III), Fe(III), and Cr(III) ions using Schiff base as a ligand during 2020-2022.

Abstract
Isatin-3-(7'-Methoxychromone-3'-methylidene) hydrazone (L) was synthesized based on chromone schiff base, and used to construct a novel sensor to detect Cr3+. Fluorescence detection experiments were carried out for a range of different concentrations of Cr3+ in aqueous solutions. A concentration calculation model was built on the basis of eliminating interference of excitation spectrum in the fluorescence spectra with mathematical method. Results showed that probe L displayed a 70-fold fluorescence enhancement upon the addition of Cr3+ due to the photo-induced electron transfer (PET) effect. On the other hand, metal ions except Cr3+ did not cause significant change in either the absorption or the fluorescence spectrum of L. In addition, L showed a good selectivity to Cr3+ over other metal cations, especially Al3+ and Cu2+. The probe L can detect Cr3+ highly and selectively by the direct chelation enhanced fluorescence with a detection limit of 3.14 × 10-6 M. Furthermore, benefiting from their good water solubility and biocompatibility, cell imaging and real-time monitoring of Cr3+ in living HepG2 cells were successfully achieved.

Abstract
A novel fluorescent probe possessing anthracene with an indole unit was designed and synthesized to detect chromium(III) ions (Cr3+) with high sensitivity and selectivity. The probe was synthesized in one step by mixing two commercially available chemicals, 2-aminoanthracene and Indole-5-carboxaldehyde. The probe molecule (ANT-In) demonstrates distinct properties, for instance, "turn-on" fluorescence response, high sensitivity and selectivity in less than one minute, and low detection limit (0.2 µM) via hydrolysis of the C = N bond. Additionally, the probe ANT-In was successfully used to identify the presence of chromium(III) ions in real water samples.

Abstract
Chromium is detected in most ecosystems due to the increased anthropogenic activities in addition to that developed from natural pollution. Chromium contamination in the food chain results due to its persistent and non-degradable nature. The release of chromium in the ecosystem accretes and thereafter impacts different life forms, including humans, aquatic and terrestrial organisms. Leaching of chromium into the ground and surface water triggers several health ailments, such as dermatitis, eczematous skin, allergic reactions, mucous and skin membrane ulcerations, allergic asthmatic reactions, bronchial carcinoma and gastroenteritis. Physiological and biological treatments for the removal of chromium have been discussed in depth in the present communication. Adsorption and biological treatment methods are proven to be alternatives to chemical removal techniques in terms of cost-effectiveness and low sludge formation. Chromium sensing is an alternative approach for regular monitoring of chromium in different water bodies. This review intended to explore different classes of sensors for chromium monitoring. However, the spectrochemical methods are more sensitive in chromium ions sensing than electrochemical methods. Future study should focus on miniaturization for portability and on-site measurements without requiring a large instrument provides a good aspect for future research.

Abstract
An anthracene based fluorescent probe, integrated with thiophene moiety, exhibited selective and sensitive detection of chromium (III) ions over other metal ions. Its synthesis was achieved by simple mixing of two commercially available compounds, 2-aminoanthracene, and 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde, in onestep without the needed complex purification process. The probe molecule (
ANT-Th
) offered exceptional features such as “turn-on” fluorescence response, low detection limit (0.4 μM), and fast response time (<1 min) via C=N bond hydrolysis. Also, a simple test paper system was developed for the rapid detection of chromium (III) ions with the naked eye.

Abstract
Chromium, ranking the second most among toxic heavy metal pollutants in the world, causing respiratory, cardiovascular and renal problems in human beings is under study herein. We examined the biological remediation of the carcinogenic Cr (VI) polluted soils by indigenous yeast isolates. The total element analysis of the treated sample was determined by Energy Dispersion X-ray Micro Analysis (EDXMA). The sample under study was observed to have a high concentration of 458.29 mgKg-1 Cr (VI), determined by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) and DPC analysis. The most tolerant isolate designated as CSR was used for in vitro and ex-situ bioremediation studies of Cr (VI). The isolate achieved significant bioremediation of 86% in vitro and 75.12% in ex-situ method. The optimal conditions for in vitro bioremediation were found to be 28 °C and a pH of 6. The ITS1, 5.8S rRNA and D1, D2 domain of LSU rRNA gene characterization of the isolate CSR illustrated that it belongs to Ustilago genera. The isolate was deposited in NCBI GenBank as Ustilago sp. CSR (KY284846). Although, Ustilago is generally a pathogenic fungus, our study opens up the scope of using Ustilago spp. for bioremediation of the carcinogenic heavy metal Chromium.

Abstract
An Gram negative strain of S. maltophilia, indigenous to environments contaminated by Cr(VI) and identified by biochemical methods and 16S rRNA gene analysis, reduced chromate by 100%, 98-99% and 92% at concentrations in the 10-70, 80-300, and 500 mg/L range, respectively at pH 7 and temperature 37 °C. Increasing concentrations of Cr(VI) in the medium lowered the growth rate but could not be directly correlated with the amount of Cr(VI) reduced. The strain also exhibited multiple resistance to antibiotics and tolerance and resistance to various heavy metals (Ni, Zn and Cu), with the exception of Hg. Hexavalent chromium reduction was mainly associated with the soluble fraction of the cell evaluated with crude cell-free extracts. A protein of molecular weight around 25 kDa was detected on SDS-PAGE gel depending on the concentration of hexavalent chromium in the medium (0, 100 and 500 mg/L). In silico analysis in this contribution, revealed the presence of the chromate reductase gene ChrR in S. maltophilia, evidenced through a fragment of around 468 bp obtained experimentally. High Cr(VI) concentration resistance and high Cr(VI) reducing ability of the strain make it a suitable candidate for bioremediation.

Abstract
Chromium has been and is extensively used worldwide in multiple industrial processes and is routinely discharged to the environment from such processes. Therefore, this heavy metal is a potential threat to the environment and to public health, primarily because it is non-biodegradable and environmentally persistent. Chromium exists in several oxidation states, the most stable of which are trivalent Cr(Ill) and hexavalent Cr(VI) species. Each species possesses its own individual chemical characteristics and produces its own biological effects. For example, Cr (Ill) is an essential oligoelement for humans, whereas Cr(VI) is carcinogenic and mutagenic. Several chemical methods are used to remove Cr(VI) from contaminated sites. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. Currently, bioremediation is often the preferred method to deal with Cr contaminated sites, because it is eco-friendly, cost-effective and is a "natural" technology. Many yeast, bacterial and fungal species have been assessed for their suitability to reduce or remove Cr(VI) contamination. The mechanisms by which these microorganisms resist and reduce Cr(VI) are variable and are species dependent. There are several Cr-resistance mechanisms that are displayed by microorganisms. These include active efflux of Cr compounds, metabolic reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr (ill), and either intercellular or extracellular prec1p1tation. Microbial Cr (VI) removal typically involves three stages: binding of chromium to the cell surface, translocation of chromium into the cell, and reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr (ill). Cr(VI) reduction by microorganisms may proceed on the cell surface, outside the cell, or intracellularly, either directly via chromate reductase enzymes, or indirectly via metabolite reduction of Cr(VI). The uptake of chromium ions is a biphasic process. The primary step is known as biosorption, a metabolic energyindependent process. Thereafter, bioaccumulation occurs, but is much slower, and is dependent on cell metabolic activity. Choosing an appropriate bioremediation strategy for Cr is extremely important and must involve investigating and understanding the key mechanisms that are involved in microbial resistance to and removal of Cr(VI).

Abstract
Chromium occurs mostly in tri- and hexavalent states in the environment. Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] compounds are extensively used in diverse industries, and trivalent chromium [Cr(III)] salts are used as micronutrients and dietary supplements. In the present work, we report that they both induce genetic mutations in yeast cells. They both also cause DNA damage in both yeast and Jurkat cells and the effect of Cr(III) is greater than that of Cr(VI). We further show that Cr(III) and Cr(VI) cause DNA damage through different mechanisms. Cr(VI) intercalates DNA and Cr(III) interferes base pair stacking. Based on our results, we conclude that Cr(III) can directly cause genotoxicity in vivo.

Abstract
The single and joint toxicity effects of Cu, Cr(III), and Cr(VI) on the root elongation of pakchoi in solution and soil were investigated. The median effective concentration (EC(50)) was determined to examine the toxic thresholds of the test elements. The results showed that individual contamination by Cu, Cr(III), or Cr(VI) can inhibit the root elongation of pakchoi. The EC(50) values of the test elements were 2.02 mg/L and 195.8 mg/kg, 62.2 mg/L and 1,773 mg/kg, and 6.88 mg/L and 8.08 mg/kg in solution and soil, respectively. Toxic unit (TU) was introduced to determine the outcome in combined tests, and different behaviors were observed in both solution and soil. The coexistence of Cu and Cr(III) in solution exhibited an antagonistic effect (EC(50mix) = 1.76 TU(mix)), whereas a synergistic effect was observed in soil (EC(50mix) = 0.76 TU(mix)). In contrast, combined Cu-Cr(VI) showed a less than additive toxicity both in solution and soil, with EC(50mix) values of 3.31 and 1.24 TU(mix). In conclusion, the coexistence of toxicity in Cu-Cr(III) and Cu-Cr(VI) differs from the toxicity exhibited individually by Cu, Cr(III), and Cr(VI). Heavy metal interaction also changes depending on the medium.

Abstract
Chromium(VI) removal and its association with exopolysaccharide (EPS) production in cyanobacteria were investigated. Synechocystis sp. BASO670 produced higher EPS (548 mg L(-1)) than Synechocystis sp. BASO672 (356 mg L(-1)). While the EC(50) of the Cr(VI) for Synechocystis sp. BASO670 and Synechocystis sp. BASO672 were determined as 11.5 mg L(-1), and 2.0 mg L(-1), respectively, there was no relation between Cr(VI) removal and EPS production. Synechocystis sp. BASO672, which has higher EPS value, removed (33%) more Cr(VI) than Synechocystis sp. BASO670. Monomer compositions of EPS of each of the isolates were determined differently. Synechocystis sp. BASO672 which removed higher Cr(VI), had higher values of uronic acid and glucuronic acid (192 microg/mg and 89%, respectively). Our results showed that EPS might play a role in Cr(VI) tolerance. Monomer composition, especially uronic acid and glucuronic acid content of EPS may have enhanced Cr(VI) removal.

Abstract
Two chromate-resistant filamentous fungi, strains H13 and Ed8, were selected from seven independent fungal isolates indigenous to Cr(VI)-contaminated soil because of their ability to decrease hexavalent chromium levels in the growth medium. Morphophysiological studies identified strain H13 as a Penicillium sp. isolate and Ed8 as an Aspergillus sp. isolate. When incubated in minimal medium with glucose as a carbon source and in the presence of 50 microg/mL Cr(VI), these strains caused complete disappearance of Cr(VI) in the growth medium after about 72 h of incubation. Total chromium concentration in growth medium was constant during culture growth, and no accumulation of chromium in fungal biomass was observed. Quantitative determinations of oxidized and reduced chromium species during the reduction process revealed stoichiometric conversion of Cr(VI) to Cr(III). A decrease in Cr(VI) levels from industrial wastes was also induced by Ed8 or H13 biomass. These results indicate that chromate-resistant filamentous fungi with Cr(VI)-reducing capability could be useful for the removal of Cr(VI) contamination.

Abstract
Yeast tolerance to Cr (III) and Cr (VI) as well as chromium accumulation potential were shown to depend on treatment time, metal concentration, biomass density and the phase of growth. Kinetic studies as exemplified by Pichia guilliermondii ATCC 201911 revealed a biphasic mode of Cr (III) uptake: a rapid sorption phase was followed by a slow process of accumulation, in which the contribution of the cell-bound Cr fraction increased, while the total cellular Cr level remained constant. Cr (VI) uptake was characterized by a time-dependent increase of total Cr and by a constant fractional contribution of the cell-adsorbed chromium, which suggests that the amount of cell-accumulated Cr also tended to increase over time. The resistance to Cr and metal accumulation levels were substantially elevated for a given strain when cultures were treated at high initial biomass densities (1 mg dry weight/ml) of exponentially proliferating cells. Maximum accumulation capabilities ranged between 4.0 and 13 mg Cr (III)/g dry weight and 2-6.7 mg Cr (VI)/g dry weight. The total cell-accumulated Cr contained 29.3% and 52.3% of organically bound chromium for the treatment of P. guilliermondii with Cr (III) and Cr (VI), respectively. Selected yeast strains, under specified physiological conditions, can be applied for bioremediation of environmental Cr contamination, and might be useful too for attempts to obtain chromium-enriched biomass containing biostabilized and nontoxic Cr forms for nutritional applications.

Abstract
Stable chromium(VI)-sensitive and -tolerant mutants were obtained by induced mutagenesis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe lysine and leucine auxotrophic heterothallic strains 6chr+ and 9chr+. Eleven of them were selected for further studies. Fast transport of 51CrO4(2-) was detected in a representative sensitive mutant, chr-51S, while the tolerant mutant chr1-66T and the parental strain 6chr+ exhibited significantly lower 51CrO4(2-) uptake. The segregation of tetrads of three selected CrVI-tolerant mutants, chr1-66T, chr1-14T and chr2-04T, strongly indicated that tolerance was determined by single mutations. Random spore analysis proved that the mutations of chr1-66T and chr1-14T were allelic and the mutation of mutant chr2-04T was not allelic with the mutation of chr1-66T. Recombinants carrying the ura4D18 selective marker were created for transformation experiments. Two of them (chr1-661T and chr2-046T) can be used to clone and identify the genes responsible for their CrVI tolerance phenotype.

Abstract
A comparative study has been made on the sensitivity of the yeast Pichia guilliermondii to Cr (III) and Cr (VI) as well as on the Cr uptake potential at growth-inhibitory concentrations of chromium. The strains used in the study were either isolated from natural sources or obtained from a laboratory strain collection. The results show that most of the natural strains were more tolerant to chromium and were able to grow in the presence of 5 mM Cr (III) or 0.5 mM Cr (VI), that is at concentrations which substantially inhibited the growth of laboratory strains. The cellular Cr content after treatment was similar for both strain types and ranged from 1.2-4.0 mg/g d.w. and 0.4-0.9 mg/g d.w., for Cr (III) and Cr (VI) forms, respectively, however, in one case of a natural strain it reached the value of 10 mg Cr (III)/g dry mass. Natural-source strains were grouped into four groups based on the yeasts' differential response to Cr (III) and Cr (VI). Hexavalent Cr-resistant mutants of a P. giuilliermondii laboratory strain, which revealed markedly changed capabilities of chromium accumulation, were obtained by means of UV-induced mutagenesis. Cr (VI) treatment triggered oversynthesis of riboflavin and the addition of exogenous riboflavin increased P. guilliermondii resistance to both Cr (III) and Cr (VI). Electrophoretic protein profiles revealed the induction and/or suppression of several proteins in response to toxic Cr (VI) levels.
