Heavy metals are extensively discharged through various anthropogenic activities, resulting
in an environmental risk on a global scale. In this case, microorganisms can survive in an …

Being an energetic fuel, methane is able to support microbial growth and drive the reduction
of various electron acceptors. These acceptors include a broad range of oxidized …

Anaerobic methane oxidation is coupled to the reduction of electron acceptors, such as
sulfate, and contributes to their biogeochemical cycling in the environment. However …

Antimony (Sb) contamination released from mine tailings represents a global threat to
natural ecosystems and human health. The geochemical conditions of Sb tailings, which are …

Microorganisms play an important role in altering antimony (Sb) speciation, mobility, and
bioavailability, but the understanding of the microorganisms responsible for Sb (V) reduction …

The rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) has become an increasingly
serious threat to public health. Previous studies illustrate the antibiotic-like effect of many …

Microbial oxidation of organic compounds can promote arsenic release by reducing soil-
associated arsenate to the more mobile form arsenite. While anaerobic oxidation of methane …

The dimethyl sulfoxide reductase (or MopB) family is a diverse assemblage of enzymes
found throughout Bacteria and Archaea. Many of these enzymes are believed to have been …

Abstract Antimony (Sb), a non-essential metalloid, can be released into the environment
through various industrial activities. Sb (III) is considered more toxic than Sb (V), but Sb (III) …

A novel dissimilatory antimonate [Sb (V)]-reducing bacterium, strain SVR, was isolated from
soil of a former antimony (Sb) mine. Strain SVR coupled Sb (V) reduction to acetate …
