Abstract:The psychrotolerant bacteria able to induce carbonate precipitation of heavy metals at low temperatures play an essential role in the remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil in cold regions. In this study, a psychrotolerant bacterial strain DC1 with carbonate mineralization potential, identified as Glutamicibacter sp., was isolated from tailing soil. The optimal temperatures and pH range for the growth of strain DC1 were 10-30ºC and 6-8, respectively. Besides, strain DC1 showed a high degree of resistance… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
