One hundred and nineteen samples of clay (n = 42), rock and sand temper (n = 7), and pottery (n = 70) from the various drainages in and around the North Carolina Sandhills were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR). Here we report the analytical methods and describe some of the chemical patterns identified in the ...

Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth's crust and is widely distributed in the environment. Natural mineralization and activities of microorganisms enhance arsenic mobilization in the environment but human intervention has exacerbated arsenic contamination. Although arsenic is useful for industrial, agricultural, medicinal and other purposes, it exerts a toxic effect in a variety of organisms, ...

Bacteria are remarkable in their metabolic diversity due to their ability to harvest energy from myriad oxidation and reduction reactions. In some cases, their metabolisms involve redox transformations of metal(loid)s, which lead to the precipitation, transformation, or dissolution of minerals. Microorganism/mineral interactions not only affect the geochemistry of modern environments, but may a...
