Microbial Interactions with Mineral Materials

1988
Microbes in the form of epilithic (on the surface),chasmolithic (in cleavages and fissures) and endolithic (within the material or interstitial space of the material) complex microbial communities interact in many different ways with mineral material and its external environment.

Nutrient supply enhanced wheat residue-carbon mineralization, microbial growth, and microbial carbon-use efficiency when residues were supplied at high rate in contrasting soils

Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2018
Crop residue is a source of energy and nutrients for microbial growth, and can be converted into soil organic matter (SOM). However, there are still knowledge gaps on how the interaction of crop residue and supplementary nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus ...

Microbial leaching of metals from sulfide minerals

Biotechnology Advances, 2001
Microorganisms are important in metal recovery from ores, particularly sulfide ores. Copper, zinc, gold, etc. can be recovered from sulfide ores by microbial leaching. Mineral solubilization is achieved both by 'direct (contact) leaching' by bacteria and by 'indirect leaching' by ferric iron (Fe(3+)) that is regenerated from ferrous iron (Fe(2+)) by ...

Microbially Mediated Mineral Carbonation: Roles of Phototrophy and Heterotrophy

Environmental Science & Technology, 2011
Abstract Ultramafic mine tailings from the Diavik Diamond Mine, Canada and the Mount Keith Nickel Mine, Western Australia are valuable feedstocks for sequestering CO2 via mineral carbonation. In microcosm experiments, tailings were leached using various dilute acids to produce subsaline solutions at circumneutral pH that were ...

Microbial diversity in the hydromagnesite mineralization

2015
Before the last century, the lithosphere and the biosphere were counted as two distinct entities, naturally in physical contact, but materially indipendent in their dynamics. Here, we present an example of interaction between microbes and minerals at Montecastelli site (Tuscany, Italy). Montecastelli serpentinites are characterized by a spontaneous and

Microbial Mineral Dissolution and Environmental Disasters

2018
Microorganisms play very important role in elemental and mineral chemistry on earth surface. Along with the major biogeochemical cycles such as Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulphur and Phosphorus, which are crucially involved in thermodynamic balances in earth system, microbes are also involved in trace metal cycling.

Microbial community composition, but not diversity, influence microbial necromass mineralization

Abstract Soil harbours a wide diversity of microbes responsible for essential functions, such as depolymerizing the C and N in organic matter through the production of exoenzymes. Some of these exoenzymes are universal, whereas others are specific to certain microbes.
