species of mostly aquatic γ-proteobacteria, which were isolated around the globe in a …

Mining-industry is one of the most important activities in the economic development of many
countries and produces highly significant alterations on the environment, mainly due to the …

Acid mine drainage (AMD) is harmful to the environment and human health. Microorganisms-
mineral interactions are responsible for AMD generation but can also remediate AMD …

Thallium (Tl) is a trace metal with high toxicity. Comprehensive investigation of spatial
distribution of Tl and microorganism is still limited in soils from mining area. In this study, 16S …

A unique terrace with sharp gradient of environmental conditions was selected to study the
microbial response and survival strategies to the extreme environments introduced by acid …

Heavy metal pollution of paddy fields is of increasing concern due to the huge losses in rice
yield that occur every year. Therefore, it is important to understand the microecological and …

A field pilot-scale passive treatment system was developed for in-situ bioremediation of acid
mine drainage (AMD). The microbial community and its variation were analyzed. The data …

Abstract Antimony (Sb) and arsenic (As) are toxic elements that occur widely in trace soil
concentrations. Expansion of mining activities has increased Sb and As pollution, thus …

Abstract Arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) are both toxic metalloids that are of primary concern
for human health. Mining activity has introduced elevated levels of arsenic and antimony into …

Environmental gradient have strong effects on community assembly processes. In order to
reveal the effects of alkaline mine drainage (AlkMD) on bacterial and denitrifying bacterial …
