In Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology , German scientists appear to show that the answer is yes: the biomass of some exotic photosynthetic cyanobacteria can efficiently absorb REEs from wastewater, for example derived from mining, metallurgy, or the recycling of e-waste. So could we recycle REEs more efficiently, too?
