Microbial Role in Global Biogeochemical Cycling of Metals and Metalloids at the Interfaces in the Earths Critical Zone

摘要：

Microorganisms are intimately involved in many processes of fundamental importance to geology, and these include biotransformations of metals and minerals, as well as related substances like metalloids, and metal radionuclides (Gadd et al., 2005; Gadd, 2007). Such processes are involved in bioweathering, mineral dissolution and formation, and soil formation and development. Integral to all mechanisms are interactions with metals, and microorganisms are intimately involved in metal biogeochemistry with a variety of processes determining mobility, and bioavailability (Gadd, 2005; 2008).
