A Review of Asbestos Bioweathering by Siderophore-Producing <i>Pseudomonas</i>: A Potential Strategy of Bioremediation

A Review of Asbestos Bioweathering by Siderophore-Producing <i>Pseudomonas</i>: A Potential Strategy of Bioremediation

Asbestos, silicate minerals present in soil and used for building constructions for many years, are highly toxic due primarily to the presence of high concentrations of the transition metal iron. Microbial weathering of asbestos occurs through various alteration mechanisms. Siderophores, complex age...
