Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metals have undergone changes in speciation and bioavailability during Earth’s history. Consequently, they have greatly influenced the evolution of life. In this Special Issue, emphasis will be placed at the interface of metals, such as copper and zinc, and microbes and how these interactions shape survival and virulence. In addition, the behavior of metals and metalloids in the environment will be explored. If possible speciation of metals will be linked to genes and metal resistance determinants. Special emphasis will also be given to metal resistance determinants of less studied metals, such as tellurium, chromium and antimonite.
