      abstract = {This book explains the metabolic processes by which  microbes obtain and control the intracellular availability  of their required metal and metalloid ions. The book also  describes how intracellular concentrations of unwanted  metal and metalloid ions successfully are limited. Its  authors additionally provide information about the ways  that microbes derive metabolic energy by changing the  charge states of metal and metalloid ions. Part one of this  book provides an introduction to microbes, metals and  metalloids. It also helps our readers to understand the  chemical constraints for transition metal cation  allocation. Part two explains the basic processes which  microbes use for metal transport. That section also  explains the uses, as well as the challenges, associated  with metal-based antimicrobials. Part three gives our  readers an understanding that because of microbial  capabilities to process metals and metalloids, the microbes  have become our best tools for accomplishing many jobs.  Their applications in chemical technology include the  design of microbial consortia for use in bioleaching  processes that recover metal and metalloid ions from  industrial wastes. Many biological engineering tasks,  including the synthesis of metal nanoparticles and similar  metalloid structures, also are ideally suited for the  microbes. Part four describes unique attributes associated  with the microbiology of these elements, progressing  through the alphabet from antimony and arsenic to zinc.},
