Microbial Population Dynamics and the Role of Sulfur Reducing Bacteria Genes in Stabilizing Pb, Zn and Cd in the Terrestrial Subsurface

2018-08-04

Abstract excerpt

Milling and mining metal ores are major sources of heavy metal contamination. The Spring River and its tributaries in southeast Kansas are contaminated with Pb, Zn, and Cd as a result of 120 years of mining activities. Trace metal transformations and cycling in mine waste materials greatly influence their mobility and toxicity and affect plant productivity and human health. It has been hypothesized that under redu...
