Microbial communities in acid mine drainage.
The dissolution of sulfide minerals such as pyrite (FeS2), arsenopyrite (FeAsS), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), sphalerite (ZnS), and marcasite (FeS2) yields hot, sulfuric acid-rich solutions that contain high concentrations of toxic metals. In locations where access of oxidants to sulfide mineral surfaces is increased by mining, the resulting acid mine drainage (AMD) may contaminate surrounding ecosys...
متن کاملPreventing acid mine drainage from mine tailings
Mining activity always has high impact on its surroundings, being waste deposition the cause of multiple and complex problems to the environment. One of them is Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), causing acid water percolation through large areas in the mine site. Portugal was a prosper tungsten producer from the beginning of the XX century, having its apogee during World War II. Nowadays there are mill...
متن کاملBacterial, Archaeal, and Eukaryotic Diversity across Distinct Microhabitats in an Acid Mine Drainage
Acid mine drainages are characterized by their low pH and the presence of dissolved toxic metallic species. Microorganisms survive in different microhabitats within the ecosystem, namely water, sediments, and biofilms. In this report, we surveyed the microbial diversity within all domains of life in the different microhabitats at Los Rueldos abandoned mercury underground mine (NW Spain), and pr...
متن کاملPrevalence of Autoplaque Phenomenon in Bacterial Communities from Spatially Heterogeneous Environment of an Abandoned Mine
The autoplaquephenomenon has been intriguing microbiologists for more than five decades (Berk, 1963; Krylov et al., 2016). The autoplaquephenomenon is characterized by the spontaneous appearance of plaques on the bacterial lawn without exposure to any external phage. Though, autolysis has been thoroughly investigated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Berk and Kazanas, 1963; Shaburova et al., 2001) it ...
متن کاملInter-species interconnections in acid mine drainage microbial communities
Metagenomic studies are revolutionizing our understanding of microbes in the biosphere. They have uncovered numerous proteins of unknown function in tens of essentially unstudied lineages that lack cultivated representatives. Notably, few of these microorganisms have been visualized, and even fewer have been described ultra-structurally in their essentially intact, physiologically relevant stat...
