Defluoridation of water using autochthonous bacterial isolates
Abstract
Prolonged consumption of fluoride-contaminated water poses health problems like dental and skeletal fluorosis in many parts of the world including India. In regions with acute water scarcity, it demands immediate intervention like de-fluoridation of water before consumption. In the current study, fluoride-resistant bacteria were isolated from fluoride-contaminated groundwater and soil samples collected from Dungarpur district, India, for their potential use in defluoridation. Out of a total of 53 bacterial isolates that were recovered and screened for fluoride resistance, three highly fluoride-resistant isolates DWC1, DWC2 and DWB5, resistant to up to 9200 mg L -1 , 7200 mg L -1 and 5200 mg L -1 fluoride respectively, were characterized and identified as Aeromonas sp., Brevibacterium sp. and Paenibacillus sp. respectively. The fluoride removal capacity of isolates DWC1, DWC2, DWB5 and a consortium of all the three isolates was found to be 68.7%, 73.4%, 76.7 % and 70.1% respectively on nutrient broth supplemented with NaF (2000 mg L -1 ) after 8 days of incubation. Defluoridation conditions for the strain showing the best result (Paenibacillus sp.) were optimized for real fluoride-rich water collected from Ajmer District, India, using the Taguchi design of experiment. A defluoridation of up to 73.3% was observed at 40 °C temperature and pH 8 with inoculum: water ratio of 2:1 after 8 days of incubation. To the best of our knowledge, the defluoridation capacity of Paenibacillus…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
