Phytochelatins (PCs) are small cysteine-rich peptides capable of binding metal (loid) s via
SH-groups. Although the biosynthesis of PCs can be induced in vivo by various metal (loid) …

Microalgae have been developed as promising candidates for bioenergy production,
coupled with answering challenges related to water pollution and global warming. When …

Microbes from the three domains of life, Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya, share the need to
sense and respond to changes in the external and internal concentrations of protons. When …

Heavy metal pollution in ecosystem is a global threat. The associated toxicity and
carcinogenic nature of heavy metals/metalloids such as mercury, cadmium, lead, and …

Microalga–microbiome interactions are central to both health and disease of aquatic
environments. Despite impressive advances in deciphering how microorganisms participate …

The persistence of heavy metals (HMs) in the environment causes adverse effects to all
living organisms; HMs accumulate along the food chain affecting different levels of biological …

With increasing concerns on the ecological risks of pollutants, many efforts have been
devoted to revealing the toxic effects of pollutants on algae or bacteria in their monocultures …

Anthropogenic activities have drastically affected the environment, leading to increased
waste accumulation in atmospheric bodies, including water. Wastewater treatment is an …

Some microalgae are adapted to extremely acidic environments in which toxic metals are
present at high levels. However, little is known about how acidophilic algae evolved from …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is low-pH with high concentration of sulfates and toxic metal
(loid) s (eg As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn), thereby posing a global environmental problem. For …
