Effect of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans on pyrolusite bioleaching
Biohydrometallurgy is an increasingly popular ore extraction technology and is especially applicable for low-grade ores. In particular, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) is by far the most widely used bioleaching microorganism for leaching

Application of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans for recovering metals from electronic waste dust [PDF]
The paper discusses metal recovery from metallic wastes by means of pure chemical and biological leaching in an acidic medium. The research tested whether it is possible to remove Cu, Al, Sn and Ag from the dust formed during processing of electronic ...

Advances in bioleaching as a sustainable method for metal recovery from e-waste:A review [PDF]
Electronic waste (e-waste) accumulation on earth is a serious environmental challenge. The need for heavy metal recovery, together with the profitability of precious and base metals, are strong incentives for researchers to find a sustainable method for ...

Molecular genetic analysis of a thioredoxin gene from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans [PDF]
The Thiobacillus ferrooxidans thioredoxin gene, trxA, was isolated by its ability to complement an Escherichia coli gshA trxA mutant which was otherwise unable to grow on minimal medium lacking glutathione. The T. ferrooxidans thioredoxin also enabled the in vivo reduction by E.

The pio Operon Is Essential for Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 [PDF]
Phototrophic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria couple the oxidation of ferrous iron [Fe(II)] to reductive CO2 fixation by using light energy, but until recently, little has been understood about the molecular basis for this process. Here we report the discovery,

Corrosion and Electrochemical Oxidation of a Pyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans [PDF]
The oxidation of a pure pyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is not really a constant phenomenon; it must be considered to be more like a succession of different steps which need characterization. Electrochemical studies using a combination of a platinum electrode and a specific pyrite electrode (packed-ground-pyrite

U mobilization and associated U isotope fractionation by sulfur-oxidizing bacteria
Uranium (U) contamination of the environment causes high risk to health, demanding for effective and sustainable remediation. Bioremediation via microbial reduction of soluble U(VI) is generating high fractions (>50%) of insoluble non-crystalline U(IV)
