Short summary
We use the soil microbial fuel cell (SMFC) to eliminate Cr(VI) from paddy soil and for metal tolerance analysis, finding 93.76 % of Cr(VI) elimination, 0.97 V power output, and heavy-metal resistance gene elevation. The enrichment of exoelectrogens, Cr(VI) reducers, and tolerators contributed to SMFC performance. Bio-physical adsorption and electrochemical–microbial reduction simultaneously reduced Cr(VI).
