- Title
Current and future microbiological strategies to remove As and Cd from drinking water.
- Authors
Byrne, James M.; Kappler, Andreas
- Abstract
The article discusses the trends and developments in the use of microbiology to treat metalloid arsenic (As) and heavy metal cadmium (Cd) from drinking water, which are often associated with agricultural soils and, mining and other industrial activities that led to groundwater contamination. Topics include considerations for direct microbial bioremediation, indirect microbial bioremediation, and the use of Microbacterium lacticum to oxidize As sorbed to activated charcoal or alumina.
