Molybdenum is the only second-row transition metal required by most living organisms, and
is nearly universally distributed in biology. Enzymes containing molybdenum in their active …

Arsenic (As) is one of the most toxic metalloids that possess many forms. As is constantly
migrating from abandoned mining area to the surrounding environment in both oxidation …

Microorganisms can mediate arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) transformation and thus
change the As and Sb toxicity and mobility. The influence of As and Sb on the innate …

Arsenite (As (III)) oxidation has important environmental implications by decreasing both the
mobility and toxicity of As in the environment. Microbe-mediated nitrate-dependent As (III) …

Metal contamination released from tailings is a global environmental concern. Although
phytoremediation is a promising remediation method, its practice is often impeded by the …

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 …

Nutrient deficiency, especially bio-available nitrogen deficiency, often impedes the
bioremediation efforts of mining generated tailings. Biological nitrogen fixation is a critical …

Pteris vittata is an arsenic (As)-hyperaccumulator that may be employed in phytoremediation
of As-contaminated soils. P. vittata-associated microbiome are adapted to elevated As and …

Mining activities of antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) typically result in severe environmental
contamination. These contaminants accumulate in rice and thus threaten the health of local …

Arsenic (As) contamination of drinking water and soils poses a threat to a large number of
people worldwide, especially in Southeast Asia. The predominant forms of As in soils and …
