Genome mining to unravel potential metabolic pathways linked to gallium bioleaching ability of bacterial mine isolates

Gallium (Ga) is considered a high-tech Critical Metal, used in the manufacture of several microelectronic components containing either gallium arsenide (GaAs) or gallium nitride (GaN). The current high demand for this critical metal urges the development of effective recovery processes from secondar...
