Identification of a New Heavy-Metal-Resistant Strain of <i>Geobacillus stearothermophilus</i> Isolated from a Hydrothermally Active Volcanic Area in Southern Italy

Microorganisms thriving in hot springs and hydrothermally active volcanic areas are dynamically involved in heavy-metal biogeochemical cycles; they have developed peculiar resistance systems to cope with such metals which nowadays can be considered among the most permanent and toxic pollutants for h...
