The health risks of lead-zinc (Pb–Zn) tailings from heavy metal (HMs) contamination have
been gaining increasing public concern. The dispersal of HMs from tailings poses a …

As an efficient and economical bioremediation technology, biological sulfate reduction
technology has great potential for the treatment of a variety of sulfate-laden wastewater …

Microbial reduction under anaerobic condition is a promising method for remediating
vanadate [V (V)] contamination in aquifers, while V (V) may be re-generated with redox …

Background Phytoremediation is a potentially cost-effective way to remediate highly
contaminated mine tailing sites. However, nutrient limitations, especially the deficiency of …

Microorganisms play crucial roles in phosphorus (P) turnover and P bioavailability increases
in heavy metal-contaminated soils. However, microbially driven P-cycling processes and …

Mine tailings are extremely oligotrophic environments frequently contaminated with elevated
As and Sb, making As (III) and Sb (III) oxidation potentially important energy sources for the …

The combined pollution of microplastics (MPs) and arsenic (As) in paddy soils has attracted
more attention worldwide. However, there are few comparative studies on the effects of …

As (III) oxidation-dependent biological nitrogen fixing (As-dependent BNF) bacteria use a
novel biogeochemical process observed in tailings recently. However, our understanding of …

Soil contamination with heavy metal (loid) s may influence microbial activities in the soil, and
consequently jeopardize soil health. Microbial responses to soil contamination play an …

There are few studies on concurrent bacterial and fungal community assembly processes
that govern the metal (loid) s biogeochemical cycles at smelters. Here, a systematic …
