Ever wondered when and where microbes could survive around a radioactive waste storage facility but never found the time to trawl through all the literature? Then it's your lucky day because we've done the hard work for you. Read and enjoy! https://t.co/4u28LesWoE

People sometimes ask us, "what, exactly, is geomicrobiology?" Today the answer is, "mostly chopped veg". #MICPexperiments

@GarethFarr1 @MT_Bailey When we had a very quick look during a REE biomining project, we thought that there wasn't likely to be quantities that would be economically interesting. I'd love it if we were proved wrong and we could try our REE bioleaching/biorecovery bugs on some mine wastes
