Siderophores are small molecules of organic nature, released by bacteria to chelate iron
from the surrounding environment and subsequently incorporate it into the cytoplasm. In …

One of the factors necessary for the survivability and growth of microorganisms are iron ions.
For the uptake of this vital metal ion from the surrounding environment, microorganisms …

Mine waters and tailings generated from mining and mineral processing activities often have
detrimental impact on the local environment. One example is acid mine drainage, in which …

Bacteria have evolved various strategies to combat heavy metal stress, including the
secretion of small molecules, known as metallophores. These molecules hold a potential …

The idea is immensely attractive if copper ions can be completely removed in wastewater. In
this study, a novel bioelectrochemical system assisted microelectrolysis was developed for …

Yersiniabactin, a nonribosomal peptide-polyketide complex natural product with a strong
affinity for metals, was immobilized to a polymeric XAD16 resin (forming Ybt-XAD) and used …

Styrenic polymers (XAD2 and XAD4) were hyper-cross-linked using dichloroalkane (-
methane,-ethane,-butane, and-hexane) cross-linkers in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts …

Bacteria have evolved numerous mechanisms to resist metal toxicity, including small-
molecule metal chelators (metallophores). This study presents a dual screening …

Recently, nanomaterials through biosynthesis have attracted extensive attention, owing to
their non-toxic approaches. Herein, an environmental-friendly chemical approach was …

Yersiniabactin (Ybt) is a metal‐binding natural product that has been re‐purposed for water
treatment. The early focus of this study was the characterization of metal binding breadth …
