Abstract
Heavy metal contamination is a globally worsening problem due to different human activities and affects food safety and public health. Different technologies and tools have been developed to control heavy metal contamination, such as bioremediation, which allows the efficient stabilization and removal of heavy metals by sulfate-reducing bacteria in an environmentally friendly manner. The objective of this chapter is to evaluate the production of biogenic hydrogen sulfide by using sulfate-reducing bacteria that employ a slowly degrading carbon source for the heavy metals removal. Likewise, hydrogen sulfide production rates are exposed depending on the concentration and mixture of heavy metals, in addition to future trends in bioremediation.
