QS molecules change the planktonic/mineral subpopulations distribution of moderately thermophilic leaching bacteria in pyrite and decrease leaching in chalcopyrite [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
Biomining is a sustainable alternative to conventional mineral processing that uses acidophilic microorganisms to catalyze the extraction of valuable metals from sulfide minerals.

Positive Microbiology in the Movies

Microbial Biotechnology
Microbes are essential for sustaining life in our planet. Also, we use microbes for multiple processes like food fermentation, production of antibiotics and other drugs, biofuel production, biomining and so forth. However, this essential role is scarcely

Biomining is an ecological technology for the extraction of metals

Технічна інженерія, 2022
Biomining or bioleaching is the extraction of specific metals from ores, usually with the help of bacteria. Although it is a new method used in the mining industry to extract minerals such as copper, uranium and gold, biomining is increasingly becoming ...

Integration of Biological Networks for Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans Describes a Modular Gene Regulatory Organization of Bioleaching Pathways

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2020
Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans is one of the most studied biomining species, highlighting its ability to oxidize reduced inorganic sulfur compounds, coupled with its elevated capacity to live under an elevated concentration of heavy metals.

A novel protein for bioremediation of gadolinium waste. [PDF]

Protein Sci
Abstract Several hundreds of tons of gadolinium‐based contrast agents (GBCAs) are being dumped into the environment every year. Although macrocyclic GBCAs exhibit superior stability compared to their linear counterparts, we have found that the structural integrity of chelates is susceptible to ultraviolet light, regardless of configuration.
