Nutrient cycling Microbial Ecosystems: Assembly, Function and Targeted Design

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD1050780 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The bioremediation of contaminated sites relies on microbial communities. Different populations of microbes undertake different chemical transformations, converting potentially harmful chemicals via a series of intermediates, to harmless waste products. This shuttling of chemical elements between their oxidized and reduced forms is known as nutrient cycling.
