| Popis: | The review briefly describes the toxic effects of heavy metals towards microorganisms and the resistance mechanisms to heavy metals. The processes of fermentative and non-fermentative reduction of oxidized metals forms by the sulfate-reducing bacteria and factors that have influence these processes are described. Some sulfate-reducing bacteria using metals as terminal electrons acceptors are described. Data about the usage of these microorganisms in the bioremediation are presented. The attention is paid to the usage of psychrophylic sulfate-reducing bacteria in these processes. |
