Adhesion forces between cells of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans or Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and chalcopyrite

Colloids and Surfaces B: Biointerfaces, 2012
The efficiency of copper leaching is improved by bacteria attached to chalcopyrite. Therefore, the study of the attachment mechanism to control leaching is important. The adhesion of three species of leaching microorganisms including Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans to chalcopyrite was ...

Reduction of vanadium(V) with Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans

Bioresource Technology, 2004
Biotechnological leaching has been proposed as a suitable method for extraction of vanadium from spent catalysts and oil ash. In the biological leaching process, the vanadium(V) can be reduced to vanadium(IV), which is a less toxic and more soluble form of the vanadium.

Genetic engineering of the acidophilic chemolithoautotroph Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Trends in Biotechnology, 2022
There are several natural and anthropomorphic environments where iron- and/or sulfur-oxidizing bacteria thrive in extremely acidic conditions. These acidophilic chemolithautotrophs play important roles in biogeochemical iron and sulfur cycles, are critical catalysts for industrial metal bioleaching operations, and have underexplored potential in future

Organoarsenic resistance and bioremoval of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Bioresource Technology, 2010
The tolerance and bioremoval of dimethylarsinic acid (DMA(V)) by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) were investigated here. The inhibitory concentration (IC) of DMA(V) was determined for A. ferrooxidans. The effects of various parameters such as pH, contact time, initial DMA(V) concentration, biosorbent dose and temperature were ...

Adhesion to metal sulfide surfaces by cells of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans

Hydrometallurgy, 2006
Abstract Attachment of four strains of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite or quartz was found to be mineral-selective. The bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are responsible for mediating this process. Attachment of cells of A.

Bioleaching of djurleite using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Minerals Engineering, 2013
Abstract The bioleaching of djurleite using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (LD-1) was investigated in this paper. Experiments were carried out in shake flasks at pH 2.0, 160 r/min and 30 °C. The leaching residues were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Bioleaching of chalcopyrite by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Minerals Engineering, 2013
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) was selected to experimentally study the effects of bacteria on the oxidation of chalcopyrite. The results indicated that A. ferrooxidans remarkably promoted the oxi- dation of chalcopyrite. The pH of the cell broth medium was observed to increase and then decrease dur- ing the bioleaching experiment ...

The pyrite iron cycle catalyzed by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2013
In this paper, we study a model of the biotic pyrite iron cycle catalyzed by bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, in mining activity sites waste dumps. Chemical reactions, reaction rates and the population growth model are mostly taken from the existing literature. Analysis of the corresponding dynamical system shows the existence of up to four non-

Biocompatibility evaluation of magnetosomes formed by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Materials Science and Engineering: C, 2012
Magnetite nanocrystal has been extensively used in biomedical field. Currently, an interesting alternative to synthetic magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles, called magnetosome, has been found in magnetotactic bacteria. It has been reported that Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (At. ferrooxidans) has a potential to synthesize magnetosome.

Reduction of uranium(VI) by Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Hydrometallurgy, 2010
Interaction of Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans with soluble uranium(VI) was studied. Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans aerobic cultures showed considerable decrement of uranium in solution when pH was set to 4 with KOH. This condition stabilized polythionates produced as a result of the oxidative sulphur metabolism and ...
