Bacterial Exopolysaccharide mediated heavy metal removal: A Review on biosynthesis, mechanism and remediation strategies (2016, background): “Prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic microbial biomasses (living or dead cells), like bacteria, fungi, yeast and few microalgae are such emerging candidates of biosorption which can uptake and reduce heavy metal ion concentration from contaminated water sources in eco-friendly manner [3,15,78].”
Bioremediation of heavy metals in food industry: Application of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (2019, background): “cerevisiae treated with hot alkali was also capable of removing various heavy metal cations such as Fe, Cr, Fe, Cu, Ni, Hg, Pb, Cd, and Ag [39].”
Biosorption of Few Heavy Metal Ions Using Agricultural Wastes (2014, background): “Removal of heavy metal ions from effluents can be achieved by various methods [1].”
Bioremediation of Heavy Metals from Soil and Aquatic Environment: An Overview of Principles and Criteria of Fundamental Processes (2015, background): “Biosorption is the process which involves higher affinity of a biosorbent towards sorbate (metal ions), continued until equilibrium is established between the two components [19].”
Bioremediation of Polluted Waters Using Microorganisms (2015, background): “The advantage of using algae as biosorbents is that they generally do not produce toxic substances, unlike other microorganisms such as bacteria or fungi [55].”
