Engineering yeast for heavy metal waste remediation
The global rate of waste production has consistently outpaced the world's ability to manage and remediate it. Specifically, global consumption of raw materials, unrenewable energy sources, and disposal of electronic goods have contaminated water sources with heavy metals causing enviornmental …

Bacterial acid phosphatase and its application to waste remediation and metal recovery
PhoN-type acid phosphatase from an atypical Serratia sp. was applied to the removal of radionuclides from aqueous flows. In the presence of metal ions the phosphatase produces metal phosphate at the cell surface via the liberation of inorganic phosphate from a phosphate donor …
