Biochar-induced alterations in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans activity and its impact on Cd(II) and As(III) adsorption from acid mine drainage

Biochar
Due to continuing mining activities, Cd(II) and As(III) contamination in acid mine drainage (AMD) has become a major environmental challenge. Currently, there is increasing focus on the use of biochar to mitigate AMD pollution.

Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology-related research. [PDF]

mLife
Abstract Electroautotrophy—the use of extracellular electrons as the primary energy source for autotrophic metabolism—remains understudied compared to photoautotrophy and chemoautotrophy. Its occurrence in deep‐earth and deep‐sea environments suggests profound implications for astrobiology, yet electroautotrophic microorganisms remain poorly explored ...

Bioleaching Microbial Community Metabolism and Composition Driven by Copper Sulphide Mineral Type. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Bioleaching is a microbially mediated green technology for the recovery of metals from ore. Here, microbial consortia from a copper bioleaching column in Cyprus were cultivated on chalcopyrite (CuFeS2) and then sub‐cultured on chalcocite (Cu2S) and chalcopyrite to investigate how mineral type and surface chemistry influence microbial community ...

Microbiologically influenced corrosion of cable bolts in underground coal mines: The effect of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

International Journal of Mining Science and Technology, 2021
Reports on corrosion failure of cable bolts, used in mining and civil industries, have been increasing in the past two decades. The previous studies found that pitting corrosion on the surface of a cable bolt can initiate premature failure of the bolt ...

Isolation of the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans ntrBC genes using a T. ferrooxidans nifH-lacZ fusion [PDF]

Microbiology, 1994
An agar plating technique was developed in which the activation of expression of a Thiobacillus ferrooxidans nifH-lacZ gene fusion was used to isolate the ntrBC genes from a T. ferrooxidans gene library. An Escherichia coli ntrC mutant containing the nifH-lacZ fusion was transformed and plated on a low-nitrogen medium so that on flooding with ONPG, the

An Unexpected Facet of Extremophiles: Their Aesthetic Potential in Artistic Expression. [PDF]

Microb Biotechnol
In an era marked by environmental challenges and the proliferation of misinformation, the fusion of art and science is a strategy to promote public understanding and appreciation of complex scientific phenomena. We illustrate how the use of extremophiles offers novel avenues for artistic exploration and emphasise the benefits of such interdisciplinary ...

Peptidoglycan of a Chemolithotrophic Bacterium, Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1968
The rigid layer (peptidoglycan) of the wall of the chemolithotroph Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans was isolated after various chemical treatments. The removal of specific components was followed by noting in an electron microscope changes in the appearance of the cell surface.
