Microbial and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Environments: A Review
TL;DR: The toxic effects of heavy metal pollution and the mechanisms used by microbes and plants for environmental remediation are discussed and the importance of modern biotechnological techniques and approaches in improving the ability of microbial enzymes to effectively degrade heavy metals at a faster rate is emphasized.
Microbial Population Changes During Bioremediation of an Experimental Oil Spill
Y. J. Chang,Gregory A. Davis,Sarah J. Macnaughton,John R. Stephen,Albert D. Venosa,David C. White +5 more
TL;DR: PLFA analysis indicated that by week 14 the microbial community structures of the oiled plots were becoming similar to those of the unoiled controls from the same time point, but DGGE analysis suggested that major differences in the bacterial communities remained.

Sequential extraction procedure for the speciation of particulate trace metals
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical procedure involving sequential chemicai extractions was developed for the partitioning of particulate trace metals (Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Fe, and Mn) into five fractions: exchangeable, bound to carbonates, binding to Fe-Mn oxides and bound to organic matter.

Toxicity of heavy metals to microorganisms and microbial processes in agricultural soils: a review.
TL;DR: In this article, a hypothesis is formulated to explain how microorganisms may become affected by gradually increasing soil metal concentrations and this is discussed in relation to defining safe or critical soil metal loadings for soil protection.

Biodiversity as a barrier to ecological invasion
Theodore A. Kennedy,Shahid Naeem,Katherine M. Howe,Johannes M. H. Knops,David Tilman,Peter B. Reich +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that species diversity in small experimental grassland plots enhances invasion resistance by increasing crowding and species richness in localized plant neighbourhoods, and suggests that local biodiversity represents an important line of defence against the spread of invaders.
