Microbial indicators of anthropogenic stress in the mangrove ecosystems of Goa

May 28, 2020

| Environment

Studies of microbial community responses to heavy metal pollution and remediation of real-world multi-metal sites has rarely been done. It is important to understand how microorganisms are affected by heavy metal pollution. Microbes control most biogeochemical processes and ecosystem productivity and hence important to study the relationship between the stress due to metals and their diversity.
