Biosorption is a technique that can be used for the removal of pollutants from waters,
especially those that are not easily biodegradable such as metals and dyes. A variety of …

The last two decades have seen geomicrobiology evolve into a broad field encompassing a
wide range of environmentally significant processes such as proton and metal adsorption …

Microbial induced carbonate precipitation has been widely used in the biomineralization of
heavy metals Cd 2+. However, the low Cd-tolerance of ureolytic bacteria limits the …

Surface functional group chemistry of intact Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial cells
and their isolated cell walls was examined as a function of pH, growth phase, and growth …

The accumulation of Cd (II), Cu (II), Pb (II) and Zn (II) at mg L− 1 concentration levels by
inactive freeze-dried biomass of Pseudomonas Putida has been investigated. These metals …

The biogeochemical controls on metal behaviour in aqueous environments involve complex
linkages of biological, principally bacterially driven, and geochemical processes, which …

In this study, we measure the thermodynamic stability constants for proton and Cd binding
onto the Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the …

The partitioning (or sorption) of trace elements from aqueous solutions onto mineral surfaces
and natural organic matter (NOM) has played a major role in determining the trace element …

While numerous studies have investigated metal uptake from solution by biochar, few of
these have developed a mechanistic understanding of the adsorption reactions that occur at …

X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements was used at the U L3-edge to directly
determine the pH dependence of the cell wall functional groups responsible for the …
