Mechanism of Cr(VI) removal by efficient Cr(VI)-resistant Bacillus mobilis CR3.

Cr(VI) is a hazardous environmental pollutant that poses significant risks to ecosystems and human health. We successfully isolated a novel strain of Bacillus mobilis, strain CR3, from Cr(VI)-contaminated soil. Strain CR3 showed 86.

Exploring the mechanism of enhanced Cr(VI) removal by Lysinibacillus cavernae microcapsules loaded with synthetic nano-hydroxyapatite.

In this study, nano-scale hydroxyapatite (HAP) powder was successfully synthesized from waste eggshells and combined with Lysinibacillus cavernae CR-2 to form bio-microcapsules, which facilitated the enhanced removal of Cr(VI) from wastewater. The effects of various parameters, such as bio-microcapsule dosage, HAP dosage, and initial Cr(VI) concentration on Cr(VI) removal, were investigated. Under different treatment conditions, the Cr(VI) removal followed the order of LC@HAP (90.

Effect of amino acids on biomineralization of lead ions by Aspergillus niger.

This study investigates the biomineralization of lead ions by Aspergillus niger from aqueous environments, focusing on the dynamic effects of fungal metabolism and biological components. Three biomolecules (glutamate, methionine, and lysine) were used to induce lead oxalate mineralization under lead stress. Comparative experiments were conducted to analyze the growth characteristics and Pb (II) removal ability of A.

Microbial remediation mechanisms and applications for lead-contaminated environments.

High concentrations of lead (Pb) in agricultural soil and wastewater represent a severe threat to the ecosystem and health of living organisms. Among available removal techniques, microbial remediation has attracted much attention due to its lower cost, higher efficiency, and less impact on the environment; hence, it is an effective alternative to conventional physical or chemical Pb-remediation technologies. In the present review, recent advances on the Pb-remediation mechanisms of bacteria, fungi and microalgae have been reported, as well as their detoxification pathways.

Hexavalent chromium reduction and bioremediation potential of Fusarium proliferatum S4 isolated from chromium-contaminated soil.

Microbial remediation, utilizing reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III), is considered a promising method for lowering toxic environmental chromium levels. In this study, a Cr(VI)-resistant fungal strain, Fusarium proliferatum S4 (F. proliferatum), was isolated from seriously chromium-polluted soil at Haibei Chemical Plant, China.

Proteomics study on immobilization of Pb(II) by Penicillium polonicum.

Lead (Pb) is widely distributed in nature and has important industrial applications, while being highly toxic. In this study, the Pb(II) biosorption and immobilization behavior of Penicillium polonicum was investigated through surface morphology observation and multiple experimental analysis. In addition, the molecular mechanism of Pb(II) immobilization was further explored through proteomics.

Efficient immobilization behavior and mechanism investigation of Pb(II) by Aspergillus tubingensis.

Objectives: To understand the mechanism of Pb(II) immobilized by Pb(II)-tolerant microbes.

Results: Aspergillus tubingensis isolated from the lead-zine mine was investigated through surface morphology observation and multiple experimental analysis in order to elucidate the Pb(II) biosorption and immobilization behavior. The maximum Pb(II) uptake capacity of A.

A review on mechanism of biomineralization using microbial-induced precipitation for immobilizing lead ions.

Lead (Pb) is a toxic metal originating from natural processes and anthropogenic activities such as coal power plants, mining, waste gas fuel, leather whipping, paint, and battery factories, which has adverse effects on the ecosystem and the health of human beings. Hence, the studies about investigating the remediation of Pb pollution have aroused extensive attention. Microbial remediation has the advantages of lower cost, higher efficiency, and less impact on the environment.

Six2 Is a Coordinator of LiCl-Induced Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis.

The metanephric mesenchyme (MM) cells are a subset of kidney progenitor cells and play an essential role in mesenchymal-epithelial transition (MET), the key step of nephron generation. Six2, a biological marker related to Wnt signaling pathway, promotes the proliferation, inhibits the apoptosis and maintains the un-differentiation of MM cells. Besides, LiCl is an activator of Wnt signaling pathway.
