The common filamentous fungi can sorb heavy metals from aqueous solutions. The sorption
of heavy metals, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Fe, Ni, Ag, Th, Ra and U, by fungal biomass has been …

Environmental contamination caused by radionuclides, in particular by uranium and its
decay products is a serious problem worldwide. The development of nuclear science and …

Wastewater Microbiology focuses on microbial contaminants found in wastewater, methods
of detection for these contaminants, and methods of cleansing water of microbial …

Introduction to Geomicrobiology is a timely and comprehensive overview of how microbial
life has affected Earth's environment through time. It shows how the ubiquity of …

This book combines the results of current research with essential background material to
provide complete, in-depth coverage of every aspect of in situ and ex situ bioremediation, as …

Recent records of environmental contamination noted a moderate decrease of SO2
pollution, whereas the burden of atmospheric heavy metals is still considerable. The present …

This well-presented book describes metal-microbe interactions from a chemical and
microbiological perspective... The authors are to be commended for tackling this huge field …

Rhizopus arrhizus biomass was found to absorb a variety of different metal cations and
anions but did not absorb alkali metal ions. The amount of uptake of the cations was directly …

Metals can be dispersed, both naturally and by man's activities, into any of the Earth's
elements-soil, water or air. Biological techniques for removing metal pollutants from soil, air …

Biosorption of Cu (II) by virgin or treated unicellular yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, was
studied. Cu (II) adsorption is strongly affected by pH. A given amount of protein is released …
