Soil Contamination Around the Copper Smelter and the Use of Soil Microarthropods as Bioindicators

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 15, Page 11384-11403, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Soil contamination from smelter emissions, including heavy metals (HM), rare earth elements (REEs), and sulfur, poses a significant threat to soil ecosystems. In the immediate vicinity of the Głogów Copper Smelter, HM concentrations were several times higher than in more distant forest stands.

Coal Mine Wastewater as a Secondary Resource: Advances in Treatment and Value Recovery Technologies

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 36, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Coal mine wastewater, which has historically been considered an environmental problem, is becoming more widely recognized as a secondary resource with substantial value recovery potential. Nevertheless, recent progress demonstrates that this wastewater could be converted into highly useful, industrially available pigments (like iron oxides) by

Tetrathionate hydrolase from the acidophilic microorganisms

Frontiers in Microbiology
Tetrathionate hydrolase (TTH) is a unique enzyme found in acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea. This enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of tetrathionate to thiosulfate, elemental sulfur, and sulfate.

Microbes of biotechnological importance in acidic saline lakes in the Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia

Frontiers in Microbiology
Acidic salt lakes are environments that harbor an array of biologically challenging conditions. Through 16S rRNA, 18S rRNA, and ITS amplicon sequencing of eight such lakes across the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia, we aim to understand the microbial

Competitive Growth of Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria with Bioleaching Acidophiles for Bioremediation of Heap Bioleaching Residue

, 2020
Mining waste rocks containing sulfide minerals naturally provide the habitat for iron- and sulfur-oxidizing microbes, and they accelerate the generation of acid mine drainage (AMD) by promoting the oxidation of sulfide minerals. Sulfate-reducing bacteria

Novel and Unexpected Microbial Diversity in Acid Mine Drainage in Svalbard (78° N), Revealed by Culture-Independent Approaches

Microorganisms, 2015
Svalbard, situated in the high Arctic, is an important past and present coal mining area. Dozens of abandoned waste rock piles can be found in the proximity of Longyearbyen. This environment offers a unique opportunity for studying the biological control
