Trace metals are essential for the growth of anaerobic microorganisms, however, in practice
they are often added to anaerobic digesters in excessive amounts, which can lead to …

Bacteria have long been the targets for genetic manipulation, but more recently they have
been synthetically designed to carry out specific tasks. Among the simplest of these tasks is …

Metals can, when present in excess, or under wrong conditions, and in the wrong places,
produce errors in the genetic information system. The present review is limited to three …

With advances in biotechnology, bioremediation has become one of the most rapidly
developing fields of environmental restoration, utilizing microorganisms to reduce the …

A microbial biosensor consists of a transducer in conjunction with immobilised viable or non-
viable microbial cells. Non-viable cells obtained after permeabilisation or whole cells …

Lead (Pb) is non-bioessential, persistent and hazardous heavy metal pollutant of
environmental concern. Bioremediation has become a potential alternative to the existing …

Soil testing for metal contaminants is a continually evolving process aimed at improving the
assessment of environmental and human health hazards associated with heavy metals in …

Measuring biological data across time and space is critical for understanding complex
