Rhizosphere Bacteria and Phytostabilization Success: The Association Between Bacteria, Plant Establishment and Metal(loid) Immobilization in Metalliferous Mine Tailings
… traditional cap and plant methods for containing metalliferous mine tailings to prevent wind erosion and contamination of nearby communities and the environment. However, plant establishment during phytostabilization of pyritic legacy mine tailings in semiarid regions is challenging due to …

Evaluating the Metal Tolerance Capacity of Oil Sands Tailings Microbes, and their Ability to Degrade Naphthenic Acids While Attached to Biochar
… acids (NAs, implicated for OSPW toxicity) and metals have been reported in OSPW. This thesis sought to evaluate the metal tolerances of a native OSPW microbial community, and the effect of OSPW-specific metals on their ability to degrade NAs. Furthermore, this work focused on enhancing OSPW …

Nitrate and nitrite growth inhibition of Desulfovibrio strains
… the ability to limit the movement of toxic heavy metals from one environmental site to another by keeping those metals from dissolving in water. Limiting the movement of heavy metals into drinking water supplies is especially desirable in former nuclear weapons complexes, which are contaminated …

The use of organic materials as amendments in the remediation of soils contaminated by lead, copper and zinc
The effectiveness of using amendments in metal stabilization was determined, and their potential for remediation of contaminated soil was evaluated. A combined approach of evaluating soil and plant metal availability as well as microbial respiration was used as an indication of effectiveness of …
