Processing of Metals and Metalloids by <i>Actinobacteria</i>: Cell Resistance Mechanisms and Synthesis of Metal(loid)-Based Nanostructures

Metal(loid)s have a dual biological role as micronutrients and stress agents. A few geochemical and natural processes can cause their release in the environment, although most metal-contaminated sites derive from anthropogenic activities. Actinobacteria include high GC bacteria that inhabit a wide r...
