Production 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 کاملDirect sulfide oxidation in the solubilization of sulfide ores by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The increased rate of solubilization of sulfide ores of iron and copper caused by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been attributed either to direct action of the bacteria on the ore or to an indirect effect whereby the ferric ion is presumed to oxidize the ore and is returned to the active, oxidized state by the iron-oxidizing bacteria. Attempts by M. P. Silverman (3) to demonstrate that microbial...
متن کاملKinetics 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 کاملMicrobiological oxidation of synthetic chalcocite and covellite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The microbiological oxidation of synthetic chalcocite and covellite has been investigated using an adapted strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Biodegradation of chalcocite was found to be 90 to 100% and that of covellite 45 to 60%. Optimum conditions for the oxidation of chalcocite were: pH, 1.7 to 2.3; temperature, 35 C; and ferric iron concentration in the range of 0.004 to 0.01 M. For covel...
متن کاملOxidation of Ferrous Sulfate by Growing Cultures of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans
Oxidation of ferrous iron in acid solutions is an important reaction producing soluble ferric iron. The oxidizing property makes the ferric ion one of the most useful reagents in hydrometallurgy. The ferrous iron oxidation kinetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growing in batch culture was examined. T. ferrooxidans oxidized ferrous iron at pH 1.5 in the presence of oxygen and utilized carbon dio...
