Lanthanide bioadsorption by the extremophile Exiguobacterium sp.: utilizing microbial extracellular polysaccharides for high-value element recovery

Rare Earth Elements (REEs) are essential components in modern technologies but are challenging to extract sustainably. With increasing demand and limited supply, alternative recovery methods such as biosorption have gained attention. In particular, biosorption using extracellular polymeric substance...
