Nutrient optimization in bioleaching: are we overdosing?
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe general trend in biomining (i.e., bioleaching and biooxidation) is the use of media with high concentrations of the nutrients (nitrogen as ammonium, phosphorous as phosphate, and K), which are considered to be essential for microbial growth.
