Engineering cyanobacterial resilience for cadmium bioremediation: linking Cd speciation, cellular detoxification, and synthetic biology
Cadmium (Cd) is a persistent, non-essential toxic metal that threatens aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, agricultural productivity, and food safety. Cyanobacteria offer a promising platform for Cd bioremediation by combining photoautotrophic growth with extracellular metal binding, membrane transport, intracellular s...
