Answer:

(a) Geobacter

Geobacter was found to be the first organism with the ability to oxidize organic compounds and metals, including iron, radioactive metals, and petroleum compounds into environmentally benign carbon dioxide while using iron oxide or other available metals as electron acceptors.

(b) HCB bacteria

Hydrocarbonoclastic bacteria (HCB) play a key role in the biodegradation of oil hydrocarbons in marine and other environments.

(c) Thiobacilli

Thiobacillus, widespread in marine and terrestrial habitats, oxidizes sulfur, producing sulfates useful to plants; in deep ground deposits it generates sulfuric acid, which dissolves metals in mines but also corrodes concrete and steel.

(d) Actinomycetes

Actinomycetes are the main group of soil microorganisms that play a major role in recycling of organic matters in environment by production of hydrolytic enzymes [71].
