The last two decades have seen geomicrobiology evolve into a broad field encompassing a
wide range of environmentally significant processes such as proton and metal adsorption …

Natural clays have been used in ancient and modern medicine, but the mechanism (s) that
make certain clays lethal against bacterial pathogens has not been identified. We have …

Natural antibacterial clays, when hydrated and applied topically, kill human pathogens
including antibiotic resistant strains proliferating worldwide. Only certain clays are …

This work is aimed at quantifying the main environmental factors controlling isotope
fractionation of Cu during its adsorption from aqueous solutions onto common organic …

The acid− base and Zn sorption properties of three bacteria, Cupriavidus metallidurans
CH34, Pseudomonas putida ATCC12633, and Escherichia coli K12DH5α, were investigated …

To provide constraints on the speciation of bacterial surface functional groups, we have
conducted potentiometric titrations using the gram-positive aerobic species Bacillus subtilis …

The role of bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) in metal adsorption was
determined by studying Cd adsorption onto the gram-negative bacterial species …

Copper isotopes may prove to be a useful tool for investigating bacteria–metal interactions
recorded in natural waters, soils, and rocks. However, experimental data which attempt to …

This chapter summarizes research that improves our understanding of metal‐adsorption
reactions involving bacterial cell walls. The chapter covers two general types of …

In order to clarify the role of picocyanobacteria in aquatic biogeochemical processes (eg,
calcite precipitation), cell surface properties need to be investigated. An experimental study …
