FEMS Microbiology Ecology Webinar on Microbes vs Metals
Channel: FEMS Microbiology
Date: 2021-04-09

Microbes have evolved to facilitate a range of metabolic processes via redox reaction pathways using many different metal atoms and ions. From respiration of metallic compounds, to adjusting and responding to their extracellular environment, to merely surviving in extremely metal-polluted habitats, microbes have found ways to incorporate metals into their physiology using a surprising set of mechanisms.
