Kinetics of Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
A statistical relationship between the rate of ferric ion production by a strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and various levels of cell concentration, Fe concentration, Na concentration, and temperature was studied by a direct colorimetric method at 304 nm. The relationship was linear (90 to 93%), cross-product (3 to 4%), and quadratic (1 to 2%). The levels of cell concentration and Fe concent...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, highly acidophilic (pH 1.5 to 2.0), autotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy through the oxidation of ferrous iron or reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. It is usually dominant in the mixed bacterial populations that are used industrially for the extraction of metals such as copper and uranium from their ores. More recently, these bacterial con...
متن کاملAnaerobic Growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The obligately autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was grown on elemental sulfur in anaerobic batch cultures, using ferric iron as an electron acceptor. During anaerobic growth, ferric iron present in the growth media was quantitatively reduced to ferrous iron. The doubling time in anaerobic cultures was approximately 24 h. Anaerobic growth did not occur in the absence of elemental...
متن کاملProduction and Regeneration of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans Spheroplasts.
We investigated the production and regeneration of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans spheroplasts. Regeneration frequencies of up to 90% reversion were obtained. Attempts to transform T. ferrooxidans spheroplasts with a recombinant T. ferrooxidans plasmid were unsuccessful.
متن کاملBIOOXIDATION OF MOUTEH REFRACTORY GOLD-BEARING CONCENTRATE BY AN ADAPTED THIOBACILLUS FERROOXIDANS
The Mouteh refractory pyrite concentrates at pulp densities of 1.5%, 3%, 4.5% and 6% were treated, using Thiobacillus ferrooxidans DSM 581 and the same bacteria adapted on the Mouteh pyritic concentrate. Compared with a non-adapted culture, use of an adapted inoculum of T. ferrooxidans increased bioleaching rate of iron by a factor of 1.940, 2.011, 1.859 and 1.559 for pulp densities 1.5%, 3%, 4...
