Effects of chromium resistant strains ofPseudomonad,Scr 1 and Scr 2 on the germination of seeds and growth of the common blackgramPhaseolus mungogrowing under chromium stress have been evaluated. Scr 1 and Scr 2 were isolated from chromium rich wastewaters and rhizosphere ofEuphorbia hirta,employing standard methods. Rate of germination and growth ofP. mungoexposed to different concentrations of chromium with and without inoculation of Scr 1 and Scr 2 were observed. In the absence of bacterial inoculation chromium had adverse effects on all the parameters studied.P.mungoinoculated with Scr 1 and Scr 2 exhibited varying responses to chromium stress. These responses have been computed and discussed in the light available literature.
