초록

Bacteria and fungi are fundamental biotic components of natural biogeochemical cycles for metals and metalloids and play important roles in dissolution, precipitation, oxidation and reduction processes. Some processes catalyzed by microorganisms also have important applications in environmental biotechnology in the areas of ore leaching and bioremediation.
