Heavy metal (HM) pollution of soils is a globally important ecological and environmental
problem. Previous studies have focused on i) tracking pollution sources in HM-contaminated …

The mineral-organo composites control the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of heavy
metals in soils and sediments by surface adsorption and precipitation. The dynamic changes …

Lactobacillus sp. synthesize exopolysaccharides (EPS), including both homo-and
heteropolysaccharides, which play an important role in the production of fermented foods …

Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is an important process in the synthesis
of carbonate minerals, and thus, it is widely explored as a novel approach with potential for …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are high molecular weight polymers secreted from
microorganisms attaching to the cell surface dividing into tightly bound EPS (TB-EPS) and …

Extracellular polymeric substance (EPS)-mineral associations occur naturally in soil and
sediments, and they might play crucial roles in heavy metals immobilization. In this study …

Microaerophilic Fe (II)-oxidizing bacteria are often chemolithoautotrophs, and the Fe
(III)(oxyhydr) oxides they form could immobilize arsenic (As). If such microbes are active in …

Food contamination such as toxins and heavy metals has been increasing in the last few
decades as a result of industrialization in general and as part of food production in …

In this study, the impacts of heavy metals (1 mg L− 1) on the nitrogen removal, bioactivity of
anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AAOB) and the microbial community of anaerobic …

In freshwater environments, microbial assemblages attached to submerged substrates play
an essential role in ecosystem processes such as primary production, supported by …
