High concentrations of non-essential heavy metals/metalloids (arsenic, cadmium, and lead)
in soils and irrigation water represent a threat to the environment, food safety, and human …

Smelter emissions have brought serious heavy metal contamination. Comprehensive
surveys of spatial heavy metal and microorganism distribution in soils of smelters aera are …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes that inhabit diverse aquatic and terrestrial
environments. However, the evolutionary mechanisms involved in the cyanobacterial habitat …

Arsenic is a non-essential, environmentally ubiquitous toxic metalloid. In response to this
pervasive environmental challenge, organisms evolved mechanisms to confer resistance to …

Hadal trenches are the deepest and most remote regions of the ocean. The 11-kilometer
deep Challenger Deep is the least explored due to the technical challenges of sampling …

Heavy metal (loid) s exert selective pressure on microbial communities and evolution of
metal resistance determinants. Despite increasing knowledge concerning the impact of …

The evolution of obligate host-association of bacterial symbionts and pathogens remains
poorly understood. The Rickettsiales are an alphaproteobacterial order of obligate …

Abstract Arsenic (As) and silicon (Si) are two structurally competitive natural elements where
Si minimises As accumulation in rice plants, and based on this two-year field trial, the study …

Arsenic contaminations, often adversely influencing the living organisms, including plants,
animals, and the microbial communities, are of grave apprehension. Many physical …

Copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs) are widely used as fungicides in agriculture. Arsenic
(As) is a ubiquitous contaminant in paddy soil. The present study was focused on the …
