Many types of metal waste are produced from nonferrous industries such as mining and surface treatments; in general, physicochemical and biotechnological methods are available to treat these wastes. Worldwide usage of platinum group metals is increasing, prompting new recovery technologies. Resting cells of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans reduced soluble Pd{sup 2+} to elemental, cell-bound Pd{sup 0} supported by pyruvate, formate, or H{sub 2} as the electron donor without biochemical cofactors. Pd reduction was O{sub 2} insensitive, opening the way for recycling and recovery of Pd under oxic conditions.
