Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Evidence for physiological synergy in iron, sulfur, and carbon flow in these communities is reviewed, and microbial and geochemical simplicity of these systems makes them ideal targets for quantitative, genomic-based analyses of microbial ecology and evolution and community function.

1,033 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the heavy metal removal mechanism involving various physical, chemical and biological processes, which govern wetland performance, have been made. This information is important for the siting and use of wetlands for remediation of heavy metals.
