Rethinking Sustainable Batteries

Advanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 47, December 16, 2025.
This perspective examines sustainability across the entire battery lifecycle, from mining and manufacturing to use and end of life. Twelve principles for ‘green’ batteries are outlined, and it is argued that joint industrial, academic, and policy efforts are essential to building a truly sustainable energy future. Abstract Batteries will play a pivotal

Diguanylate cyclase null mutant reveals that C-Di-GMP pathway regulates the motility and adherence of the extremophile bacterium Acidithiobacillus caldus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
An understanding of biofilm formation is relevant to the design of biological strategies to improve the efficiency of the bioleaching process and to prevent environmental damages caused by acid mine/rock drainage.

BioMine-DB: A database for metazoan biomineralization proteins [PDF]

, 2016
Biomineralization is the process by which living organisms construct hard skeletons creating complex structures that range from specialized tissues such as bone or teeth to ecosystems such as coral reefs. Biominerals are composed of both inorganic minerals and proteins, which give them extra hardness and special attributes.

Percent‐Level Copper Mineralisation Promoted by Copper‐Tolerant Iron‐Oxidising Bacteria in Circumneutral Mine Drainage

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 12, December 2025.
A neutrophilic Fe(II)‐oxidizing Gallionellaceae was isolated from circumneutral Cu mine drainage. It mediated Fe(III) biomineralization, resulting in pronounced Cu accumulation (up to 2 wt%) within the solid precipitates. ABSTRACT Geomicrobiology of copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) in circumneutral‐pH drainage from a Japanese Cu mine was investigated, with a ...

Characteristics and adaptability of iron- and sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms used for the recovery of metals from minerals and their concentrates

Microbial Cell Factories, 2005
Microorganisms are used in large-scale heap or tank aeration processes for the commercial extraction of a variety of metals from their ores or concentrates. These include copper, cobalt, gold and, in the past, uranium.

Arsenic-transforming microbes and their role in biomining processes [PDF]

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2013
It is well known that microorganisms can dissolve different minerals and use them as sources of nutrients and energy. The majority of rock minerals are rich in vital elements (e.g., P, Fe, S, Mg and Mo), but some may also contain toxic metals or metalloids, like arsenic.
