Biogenic carbonates spawned from microbial activities are common occurrences in soils.
Here, we investigate the carbonate biomineralization mediated by the bacterium Bacillus …

Plant nutrients can be recycled through microbial decomposition of organic matter but
replacement of base cations and phosphorus, lost through harvesting of biomass/biofuels or …

Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been applied in treatment-resistant
depression (TRD) as a putative intervention targeting different brain regions. However, the …

In this article we discuss the possible significance of biological processes, and of fungi in
particular, in weathering of minerals. We consider biological activity to be a significant driver of …

A strain of thermophilic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus was cultured with K-bearing minerals
to determine if microbe–mineral interactions enhance the release of mineralic potassium. …

Purpose: Mucosal melanoma is rare and associated with extremely poor prognosis.
However, standard adjuvant therapy for mucosal melanoma has not been established. We …

The spread of Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global major public
health event, threatening people's physical and mental health and even life safety. This study …

Microbiological flocculation in wastewater by a strain of Bacillus mucilaginosus was examined
and the flocculation mechanism was investigated using Coomassie brilliant blue reaction, …

The aim of this work is to investigate biological leaching of rare earth elements (REEs) and
radioactive elements from red mud, and to evaluate the radioactivity of the bioleached red …

One mineral-solubilizing bacterial strain designated KT was isolated from a soil in Henan
Province, China. The full-length 16S rRNA gene sequence showed 95.2 to 96.7% similarity to …
