Isolation and characterization of Bacillus cereus strain BUK_BCH_BTE1 for hexavalent molybdate reduction to molybdenum blue

Environmental contamination, primarily driven by human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, and agricultural practices, has led to the accumulation of heavy metals, particularly molybdenum, in urban soils. This contamination adversely affects plant growth, food security, and poses hea...

Factors influencing molybdate reduction were optimized, including carbon and nitrogen sources, molybdate, and phosphate concentrations.
