Heavy Metal Removal by Bioaccumulation Using Genetically Engineered Microorganisms

Heavy Metal Removal by Bioaccumulation Using Genetically Engineered Microorganisms

Wastewater effluents from mines and metal refineries are often contaminated with heavy metal ions, so they pose hazards to human and environmental health. Conventional technologies to remove heavy metal ions are well-established, but the most popular methods have drawbacks: chemical precipitation ge...
