Metal ions such as chromium, silver, copper and mercury resulted in approximately 61, 57.80 , and 69% inhibition of the molybdenum-reducing activity at 1 mM, respectively.

summary A bacterium that was able to tolerate and reduce as high as 50 mM of sodium molybdate to molybdenum blue has been isolated from a metal recycling ground.
