Sulfate-Reducing Bacteria as an Effective Tool for Sustainable Acid Mine Bioremediation.

abstract：:Cyanobacteria, a group of photosynthetic prokaryotes, oscillate between day and night time metabolisms with concomitant oscillations in gene expression in response to light/dark cycles (LD). The oscillations in gene expression have been shown to sustain in constant light (LL) with a free running period of 24 h in a mo...
