Aerobic Sulfate Reduction in Plant Roots Enables Sustainable Metal Upcycling

Conventional physical and chemical treatments can remove over 90% of heavy metals, but they often require energy-intensive steps and can generate secondary pollution. Phytoremediation is greener, yet plants mainly store metals in biomass, creating hazardous waste rather than recoverable products. Microbial biomineralization can make valuable metal sulfide nanomaterials, but many high-performing sulfide-producing microbes are sulfate-reducing bacteria that grow slowly and are inhibited by oxygen, including oxygen released from plant roots.
