Selección experimental de microorganismos.Una nueva biotecnología para el reciclado de elementos clave y basura electrónica

Resumo

E-scraps increase and the extraction of critical metals are growing pollution sources due to technological advances. Recovering metals from e-waste can be a real solution to avoid metal accumulation in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and give an outlet to the already accumulated garbage by transforming it into a source. Microorganisms are responsible for recycling in almost all ecosystems known on the planet. Microalgae represent 90% of the primary production in aquatic ecosystems. They are unicellular, haploid, and photosynthetic microorganisms that quickly grow in big populations. These ancient organisms are responsible for some of the biogeochemical cycles. It is a diverse group adapted to all types of mediums and capable of degrading and capturing metals...
