Multiple heavy metal contamination is an increasingly common global problem. Heavy
metals have the potential to disrupt microbially mediated biogeochemical cycling. However …

Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) like plasmids, viruses, and transposable elements can
provide fitness benefits to their hosts for survival in the presence of environmental stressors …

Many factors contribute to the ability of a microbial species to persist when encountering
complexly contaminated environments, including time of exposure, the nature and …

Castellaniella species have been isolated from a variety of mixed-waste environments
including the nitrate and multiple metal-contaminated subsurface at the Oak Ridge …

Beginning in the 20th century, increasing levels of heavy metal contamination occurred in
both aquatic [1, 2] and terrestrial [3, 4] environments due to greater anthropogenic inputs …

The terrestrial, shallow subsurface is a complex and microbially active habitat located
beneath the top-most surface soil layers, comprised of sediments (inorganic or organic …
