Microbial release of potassium from K-bearing minerals by thermophilic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus
Abstract A strain of thermophilic fungus Aspergillus fumigatus was cultured with K-bearing minerals to determine if microbe–mineral interactions enhance the release of mineralic potassium.… Expand
Carbonate biomineralization induced by soil bacterium Bacillus megaterium
Abstract Biogenic carbonates spawned from microbial activities are common occurrences in soils. Here, we investigate the carbonate biomineralization mediated by the bacterium Bacillus megaterium, a… Expand
The role of fungi in biogenic weathering in boreal forest soils
- R. Finlay, H. Wallander, +4 authors A. Rosling
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2009
In this article we discuss the possible significance of biological processes, and of fungi in particular, in weathering of minerals. We consider biological activity to be a significant driver of mi… Expand
Effect of Microbial Weathering on Carbonate Rocks
Abstract The interaction between microorganisms and minerals can facilitate the process of exogenic biogeochemical reaction, which is one of the important research contents in exogenic geochemistry.… Expand
The potential use of bacterium strain R219 for controlling of the bloom-forming cyanobacteria in freshwater lake
- Hongqin Ren, Ping Zhang, Changhong Liu, Yarong Xue, B. Lian
- Biology
- 1 March 2010
Cyanobacterial blooms become a serious environmental threat to the freshwater ecosystem, and several physical and chemical methods have been developed for controlling the blooms. In order to develop… Expand
Effect of microbes on karstification in karst ecosystems
The role of microbes in the karstification process was determined based on the karst dynamics, CO2 capture, and carbonate deposition. A close relationship was found among microbial activity, karst… Expand
Effects of Salicylic Acid on the Development and Root Nodulation of Soybean Seedlings
- B. Lian, X. Zhou, M. Miransari, D. Smith
- Biology
- 1 October 2000
Salicylic acid (SA) is recognized as an endogenous regulator of plant metabolism, mainly involved in induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). Exogenous SA can also induce a SAR reaction and… Expand
Interactions between Bacillus mucilaginosus and silicate minerals (weathered adamellite and feldspar): Weathering rate, products, and reaction mechanisms
Bacillus mucilaginosus is a common soil bacterium, and usually used as a model bacterium in studying microbe-mineral interactions. Several reaction mechanisms of B. mucilaginosus weathering silicate… Expand
Bacillus mucilaginosus can capture atmospheric CO 2 by carbonic anhydrase
- Z. Zhang, B. Lian, Weiguo Hou, Mingxia Chen, X. Li, Y. Li
- 2011
The study mainly demonstrated whether Bacillus mucilaginosus can use atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) through the bacteria excreted carbonic anhydrase (CA) capturing atmospheric CO2. It had been… Expand
