Metal mobilization and immobilization catalyzed by microbial action are key processes in environmental biotechnology. Metal mobilization from ores, mining wastes, or solid residues can be used for recovering metals and/or ...

Filamentous fungi have been proved to have a pronounced capability to recover metals from mineral ores. However, the metal recovery yield is reduced due to toxic effects triggered by various heavy metals present in the ...

Biosorption of neodymium in batch experiments took similar to 2 h to achieve the equilibrium biosorbent-metal for all microorganisms tested. The best biosorption coefficient at a constant pH value of 1.5 was obtained using ...

The increasing industrial utilization of tellurium has resulted in an important environmental pollution with the soluble, extremely toxic oxyanion tellurite. In this context, the use of microorganisms for detoxifying ...

By March 2015, 161 genomes of acidophilic microorganisms had been published, including 126 permanent draft and closed genomes and 35 partial genomes reconstructed from metagenomic data, distributed between Archaea (71), ...

The acidophilic proteobacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is involved in the industrial biorecovery of copper. It is found in acidic environments in biofilms and is important in the biogeochemical cycling of metals ...

El presente estudio muestra los resultados de un ensayo realizado por un periodo de 3 meses donde se evaluó la fitorremediación y biorremediación de hidrocarburos totales, presentes en los sedimentos de la estación de ...
