The principal investigator and her team proposed to exploit biomineralization capacities of some bacteria for anticipating the extraction of iron and sulfur compounds when wood is still wet. A comprehensive assessment of the extraction performances achieved on wood objects from lake and marine environments will allow a versatile extraction method to be proposed to end-users.</p>}, number={9}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Ganesan, Sathiyanarayanan and James, Sarah M. and Monachon, Mathilde and Joseph, Edith}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={772–776} }
