In the following 20 years, we further investigated functional absorbents for selective metals, and explored bioremediation —using plants to treat wastewater to remove heavy metals. What inspired ...

With the increase in heavy metal pollution in the environment since the Industrial Revolution, there has been a mounting need for effective remediation methods. Bioremediation of heavy metals ...

It is a tiny but extraordinary microorganism that thrives in toxic environments filled with heavy metals. While most life forms would perish in such conditions, this resilient bacterium has evolved to ...

These findings, which offer promising prospects for bioremediation applications, have been published in Environmental Pollution. In the presence of ammonium nitrogen, the cell does not capture ...
