Comparative genomics in acid mine drainage biofilm communities reveals metabolic and structural differentiation of co-occurring archaea [PDF]
, 2016 Background Metal sulfide mineral dissolution during bioleaching and acid mine drainage (AMD) formation creates an environment that is inhospitable to most life. Despite dominance by a small number of bacteria, AMD microbial biofilm communities contain a

Rare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Rare earth elements (REEs) play an irreplaceable role in modern technology and industry. However, due to the highly similar physicochemical properties among REEs, their separation remains a significant challenge. Additionally, REEs often exist in low‐concentration solutions, making efficient REE recovery an urgent task.

International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.As global industrialization advances and land‐based resources decline, deep‐sea resource development is becoming increasingly vital. The deep sea is rich in minerals such as polymetallic nodules, polymetallic sulfides, and cobalt‐rich crust. However, deep‐sea ecosystems and geochemical cycles can be severely impacted by extensive mineral mining.
