• Bioleaching and toxicity of metallurgical wastes 

      Potysz, Anna; Lenz, Markus; Hedwig, Sebastian (2020-09-09)
      Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering
      Metallurgical wastes contain metals that are unrecovered during industrial processing. The disposal of these wastes is technically difficult due to the potential release of metals through weathering. Therefore, alternative ...

    • Sulfur amino acid status controls selenium methylation in pseudomonas tolaasii. Identification of a novel metabolite from promiscuous enzyme reactions 

      Liu, Ying; Hedwig, Sebastian; Schäffer, Andreas; Lenz, Markus; Martinez, Mathieu (2021-05-26)
      Applied and Environmental Microbiology
      Selenium (Se) deficiency affects many millions of people worldwide, and the volatilization of methylated Se species to the atmosphere may prevent Se from entering the food chain. Despite the extent of Se deficiency, little ...
