Microbial solubilization and immobilization of toxic metals: key biogeochemical processes for treatment of contamination
Abstract
Microorganisms play important roles in the environmental fate of toxic metals with a multiplicity of physico-chemical and biological mechanisms effecting transformations between soluble and insoluble phases. Such mechanisms are important components of natural biogeochemical cycles for metals and metalloids with some processes being of potential application to the treatment of contaminated materials. This paper will concentrate on three selected aspects which illustrate the key importance of microorganisms in effecting changes in metal(loid) solubility, namely toxic metal sulfide precipitation by sulfate-reducing bacteria, heterotrophic leaching by fungi, and microbial transformations of metalloids, which includes reduction and methylation. The basic microbiology of these processes is described as well as their environmental significance and use in bioremediation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
