Project Details
Description
Breathing metal and eating poison
The increasing use of electronics causes a soaring demand for metals like copper, nickel and cobalt. This results in generation of metal-rich waste streams that pose an environmental and health risk. This research aims to study carbon monoxide utilizing microorganisms that can reduce and precipitate valuable metals from these streams. This study aims to identify and characterize these microbes and study their interactions with these metals.
