Biogenic Weathering: Solubilization of Iron from Minerals by Epilithic Freshwater Algae and Cyanobacteria
A sandstone outcrop exposed to freshwater seepage supports a diverse assemblage of photosynthetic microbes. Dominant taxa are two cyanophytes (Oscillatoria sp., Rivularia sp.) and a unicellular green alga (Palmellococcus sp.). Less abundant taxa include a filamentous green alga, Microspora, and the desmid Cosmarium. Biologic activity is evidenced by measured levels of chlorophyll and lipids. Bi...
متن کاملSolubilization of iron-containing minerals by soil microorganisms.
Eighty-eight strains of microorganisms were isolated from soils collected in northern and southern Chile, and 10 fungi which showed the highest solubilizing action upon the iron in granodiorite were then selected. These fungi were incubated with the following iron-containing minerals: augite, hornblende, biotite, magnetite, hematite, and the igneous rock granodiorite. The solubility of iron in ...
متن کاملEpilithic algae of Çalgan Creek
In this study, the epilithic algae in the samples collected from three stations on the Çalgan Creek (Elazığ) in Fırat University between January and June 2016 were investigated in terms of some physical and chemical parameters. During the study, 44 taxa of epilithic algae were recorded. It was observed that Euglenophyta (1 species), Cyanophyta (3 species), Chlorophyta (6 species) and Bacillario...
متن کاملIron Utilization in Marine Cyanobacteria and Eukaryotic Algae
Iron is essential for aerobic organisms. Additionally, photosynthetic organisms must maintain the iron-rich photosynthetic electron transport chain, which likely evolved in the iron-replete Proterozoic ocean. The subsequent rise in oxygen since those times has drastically decreased the levels of bioavailable iron, indicating that adaptations have been made to maintain sufficient cellular iron l...
متن کاملBiogenic catalysis in sulphide minerals' weathering processes and acid mine drainage genesis.
Bioleaching and biogenesis are the main outputs from a large group of environmental processes participating in the natural material cycle, used in raw materials processing. Bio-oxidation reactions are the main basis for bioleaching procedures, often participating in parallel leaching processes. During the leaching processes of polycomponent sulphide substrates, the factor of process selection a...
