Interactions of rare earth elements with living organisms and emerging biotechnical applications

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1251-1274, September 2025.
Rare earth elements (REEs) are critical resources required to achieve net‐zero carbon emission targets and energy security. However, rising demand for REEs coupled with significant extraction and processing challenges and geopolitical risks restricts access to REE resources.

Ce, Gd and Yb accumulation in microalgae: an L‐edge XAS study

Acta Crystallographica Section C, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 504-512, September 2025.
Ce, Gd and Yb can accumulate as lanthanide phosphate structures in the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii supplemented with phosphate and may be a means of selective recovery of rare earths from solution. EXAFS structural analysis of some Ce, Gd and Yb compounds are presented.The extraction and separation of rare earth elements (lanthanides) can be ...

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.
