This book explains the metabolic processes by which microbes obtain
and control the intracellular availability of their required metal
and metalloid ions. The book also describes how intracellular
concentrations of unwanted metal and metalloid ions successfully
are limited. Its authors additionally provide information about the
ways that microbes derive metabolic energy by changing the charge
states of metal and metalloid ions. Part one of this book provides
an introduction to microbes, metals and metalloids. It also helps
our readers to understand the chemical constraints for transition
metal cation allocation. Part two explains the basic processes
which microbes use for metal transport. That section also explains
the uses, as well as the challenges, associated with metal-based
antimicrobials. Part three gives our readers an understanding that
because of microbial capabilities to process metals and metalloids,
the microbes have become our best tools for accomplishing many
jobs. Their applications in chemical technology include the design
of microbial consortia for use in bioleaching processes that
recover metal and metalloid ions from industrial wastes. Many
biological engineering tasks, including the synthesis of metal
nanoparticles and similar metalloid structures, also are ideally
suited for the microbes. Part four describes unique attributes
associated with the microbiology of these elements, progressing
through the alphabet from antimony and arsenic to zinc.
