• Microalgae - A promising tool for heavy metal remediation. (2015, background): “The cost of the BIO-FIX process (partially based on algal biomass) is comparable with lime precipitation; moreover, the metals recovered from the BIO-FIX could offer some more income (Garnham, 1997; Wang and Chen, 2009).”
• Bacterial Exopolysaccharide mediated heavy metal removal: A Review on biosynthesis, mechanism and remediation strategies (2016, background): “Although the attractive advantages together with its cost economy makes microbial biosorption, an interesting tool for heavy metal remediation [2,97,99,100] yet overcoming the apparent drawbacks needs to be worked upon.”
• Waste Material Adsorbents for Zinc Removal from Wastewater: A Comprehensive Review (2014, background): “A considerable amount of research on biosorbent materials has developed a solid basis of knowledge and indicated their enormous potential [85].”
• Recent Advances in Microbial Metal Bioaccumulation (2013, background): “Pretreatment of the biosorbent is reported to influence these properties significantly (Wang and Chen, 2009).”

• Microbes as Potential Tool for Remediation of Heavy Metals: A Review (2016, background): “Phytoaccumualtion/Phytoextraction is the elimination of metals from polluted soils whereby the metal is extracted from the soil, and then translocated to, and concentrated in, the harvestable parts of the plants [83-85].”
• Metals, minerals and microbes: geomicrobiology and bioremediation. (2010, positive): “All microbial materials can be effective biosorbents for metals except for mobile alkali metal cations like Na+ and K+, and this can be an important passive process in living and dead organisms (Gadd, 1993a, 2009b; Sterflinger, 2000; Wang & Chen, 2009).”
• Microbial and Plant-Assisted Bioremediation of Heavy Metal Polluted Environments: A Review (2017, background): “[59], the synergistic effect of bacterial mixtures on the bioremediation of a mixture of Pb, Cd and Cu from contaminated soils using four strains: Viridibacillus arenosi B-21, Sporosarcina soli B-22, Enterobacter cloacae KJ-46 and E.”
• Formations of calcium carbonate minerals by bacteria and its multiple applications (2016, methodology): “Additionally, these methods are expensive, result in generation of toxic sludges and require a means of safe disposal (Suh et al. 1998; Pan et al. 2005; Wang and Chen 2009).”
