Toxic Metal Contamination Treatment with Microbes

摘要: Environmental contamination by toxic metals is of considerable economic and environmental significance [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] although the influence microbiological processes on such their potential for bioremediation are dependent organisms involved physical chemical factors. Several microbial mechanisms can solubilize metals, increasing bioavailability toxicity, whereas others immobilize them reduce bioavailability. The relative balance mobilization immobilization varies depending organism (s), environment physicochemical conditions. As well as being a natural component biogeochemical cycles associated elements, these may be exploited treatment contaminated solid liquid wastes [2, 6, 7, 8].
