Shifts in microbial community composition and function in the acidification of a lead/zinc mine tailings.

abstract：:The functioning of natural microbial ecosystems is influenced by various biotic and abiotic conditions. The careful experimental manipulation of environmental conditions can drive microbial ecosystems toward exhibiting desirable types of functionality. Such manipulations can be systematically approached by viewing the...
