A heavy metal-accumulating Citrobacter sp. was grown in carbon-limiting continuous culture in an air-lift fermentor containing raschig rings as support for biofilm development. Planktonic cells from the culture outflow were immobilized in parallel on raschig rings by chemical coupling (silanization)
Dry season burning to control wildยฎre is conducted in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory.

Polyacrylamide gel-immobilized cells of a Cifrobacter sp. removed cadmium from flows supplemented with glycerol 2-phosphate, the metal uptake mechanism being mediated by the activity of a cell-bound phosphatase that precipitates liberated inorganic phosphate with heavy metals at the cell surface.

## Abstract This article reports on the utilization of Xโray microradiography and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) techniques for investigation of the metal accumulation in different part of leaf samples. The potential of the LIBSโanalysis for finding the proper plant species for phytore
