Pathogens in soil play a tremendous role in soil health and subsequent food production. Soil-
borne pathogens can cause serious losses to global harvest and are considered as a …

Biotechnology could provide many innovative alternatives for changing the way metals are
obtained. Microbes have been used to dissolve metallic minerals and release metal ions …

In this work, fate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), heavy metal resistance genes
(MRGs) and intI1 were investigated during mesophilic (mAD) and thermophilic anaerobic …

To extend the knowledge on the microbial diversity of manganese rich environments, we
performed a clone library based study using metagenomic approach. Pyrosequencing …

A comprehensive understanding of the cellular response of microbes to metal stress is
necessary for the rational development of microbe-based biosorbents for metal removal. The …

Leptospirillum ferriphilum plays a major role in acidic, metal-rich environments, where it
represents one of the most prevalent iron oxidizers. These milieus include acid rock and …

This chapter explores an overview of the different applications of metagenomics and sheds
light on its current advances in investigating microbial ecology and population dynamics …

Introduction Hydrothermal vents, rich in heavy metals, provided a unique niche for heavy
metal resistant microbes. However, knowledge about copper resistant microbes in deep sea …

Exploring the natural diversity of functional genes/proteins from environmental DNA in high
throughput remains challenging. In this study, we developed a sequence-based functional …

Metal resistance genes are valuable resources for genetic engineering of bioremediation
tools. In this study, novel genetic determinants involved in cadmium (Cd) resistance were …
