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

Metabolomic study of Chilean biomining bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain Wenelen and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans strain Licanantay [PDF]
Metabolomics, 2012 In this study, we present the first metabolic profiles for two bioleaching bacteria using capillary electrophoresis coupled with mass spectrometry. The bacteria, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain Wenelen (DSM 16786) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans strain Licanantay (DSM 17318), were sampled at different growth phases and on different substrates ...

Pyrite oxidation under initially neutral pH conditions and in the presence of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and micromolar hydrogen peroxide [PDF]
, 2012 Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at a micromolar level played a role in the microbial surface oxidation of pyrite crystals under initially neutral pH. When the mineral-bacteria system was cyclically exposed to 50 μM H2O2, the colonization of Acidithiobacillus ...
