Journal ArticleDOI
Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation
TL;DR: The ubiquity and importance of microbes in biosphere processes make geomicrobiology one of the most important concepts within microbiology, and one requiring an interdisciplinary approach to define environmental and applied significance and underpin exploitation in biotechnology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption: critical review of scientific rationale, environmental importance and significance for pollution treatment
TL;DR: Biosorption is a physico-chemical process and includes such mechanisms as absorption, adsorption, ion exchange, surface complexation and precipitation as discussed by the authors, which has been heralded as a promising biotechnology for pollutant removal from solution, and/or pollutant recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geomycology: biogeochemical transformations of rocks, minerals, metals and radionuclides by fungi, bioweathering and bioremediation
TL;DR: This article seeks to emphasize the fundamental importance of fungi in several key areas including organic and inorganic transformations and element cycling, rock and mineral transformations, bioweathering, mycogenic mineral formation, fungal-clay interactions, metal-fungal interactions, and the significance of such processes in the environment and their relevance to areas of environmental biotechnology such as bioremediation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biosorption: current perspectives on concept, definition and application
Marina Fomina,Geoffrey M. Gadd +1 more
TL;DR: Existing knowledge on various aspects of the fundamentals and applications of biosorption are summarized and the obstacles to commercial success and future perspectives are critically reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microorganisms and Heavy Metal Toxicity
TL;DR: The environmental and microbiological factors that can influence heavy metal toxicity are discussed with a view to understanding the mechanisms of microbial metal tolerance.
