Listen along: How bioinformatics can improve mine management

Carly Leonida reads Peter Karp and Dylan Beesley's article, in which they look at the benefits bioinformatics can provide in mine remediation

In this article, learn about:

  • The largely uncharted microbial ecosystems at mine sites and their impact on environmental risks.

  • How bioinformatics tools can identify and characterise microbes in tailings, enabling targeted risk mitigation.

  • A case where modelling revealed a microbe with arsenic-detoxification potential, highlighting the value of metabolic insight.

  • The future role of microbial management in mining applications.
