Maximum temperature limits for acidophilic, mesophilic bacteria in biological leaching systems.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The maximum temperature for growth (T(max)) was determined for pure and mixed cultures of acidophilic thiobacilli. The experimental system was based on incubating the cultures in liquid media exposed to a linear temperature gradient. The T(max) values varied within the range of 36.1 to 43.6 degrees C.

Removal of Heavy Metals from Urban Sewage Sludge Using Acidophilic Thiobacillus ferrooxidans
Background & objectives: The presence of heavy metals in urban sewage sludge limits its use as a soil modifier. The purpose of this study was to remove heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) from urban sewage sludge using Acidophilic Thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria. Methods: In this experimental study, the sludge samples were collected from Shiraz wastewater treatment plant. Bioleaching tests were...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans from Coal Acid Mine Drainage
Coal mine drainage refers to the acidic drainage caused by surface mining, deep mining or coal refuse piles. Being highly acidic with elevated levels of dissolved metals, it is otherwise known as “Acid Mine Drainage (AMD)”. Formation of AMD is due to a series of geochemical and microbiological processes involving acidophilic chemolithotrophs such as Thiobacillus, Thiomispora, Leptospirillum etc...

متن کاملInvestigation of Acid-Neutralizing Property of Bacillus cereus GUF8
Extreme pHs, especially acidic pHs, are among the environmental stresses that some bacteria face. The most important strategies that bacteria employ for acid adaptation include either production of acidophilic proteins, or raising the pH of the microenvironment by secretion of basic compounds including ammonia produced by the action of urease. Considering the importance of acid-neutralizing bac...
