Livestock and poultry manures usually contain substantial heavy metals, especially Cu and
Zn, which may induce the enrichment of heavy metal resistant genes (HMRGs) and heavy …

Frequent and persistent heavy metal pollution has profound effects on the composition and
activity of microbial communities. Heavy metals select for metal resistance but can also co …

In bacteria a metal may be defined as bioavailable if it crosses the cytoplasmic membrane to
reach the cytoplasm. Once inside the cell, specific metal resistance systems may be …

Heavy metal pollution that results from electronic waste (e-waste) recycling activities has
severe ecological environmental toxicity impacts on recycling areas. The distribution of …

Sediment heavy metal contamination poses substantial risks to microbial community
composition and functional gene distribution. Bohai Bay (BHB), the second-largest bay in …

The auto parts industry occupies an important strategic position in our national economy,
which brings about the pollution problem in the processing of auto parts, particularly in soil …

The aim of the present study was to prove the long-term efficiency of the amendments
zerovalent iron grit, zeolite, and Divergan® for trace metal remediation in heavily …

The lack of adequate soil resources for phytostabilizing sulfidic tailings at many metal mines
has necessitated the development of methodology to ecologically engineer soil from …

The toxic factor (TF) is a key parameter commonly used to evaluate the potential ecological
risk index (RI) of heavy metals. However, it remains largely unknown whether this traditional …
