TL;DR: These results show how microbes control metal concentrations in groundwater- and wetland-based remediation systems and suggest biological routes for formation of some low-temperature ZnS deposits.

TL;DR: It is presented the case that protein, rather than DNA, is the principal target of the biological action of IR in sensitive bacteria, and extreme resistance in Mn-accumulating bacteria is based on protein protection.

TL;DR: Autoradiography of infected macrophages incubated with 59Fe-loaded transferrin demonstrated that the bacteria could acquire iron delivered via the endocytic route, confirming the results obtained in the x-ray microscopy.

TL;DR: The presented data provide a coherent picture with strong evidence for a kinetically labile copper pool, which is predominantly localized in the mitochondria and the Golgi apparatus.

TL;DR: It is shown that c-type cytochromes of a dissimilatory metal-reducing bacterium, Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, are essential for the reduction of U(VI) and formation of extracelluar UO 2 nanoparticles and this is the first study to the authors' knowledge to directly localize the OM-associated cyto Chromes with EPS, which contains biogenic UO2 nanoparticles.
