| Abstract: | In this study, the bacteria having ore enrichment potential were isolated from three different magnesite quarries located in Erzurum-Askale borderlines. The obtained isolates were identified and characterized according to the conventional (morphological, physiological and biochemical tests) and molecular techniques (fatty acid methyl ester profiles (FAME), BOX PCR and 16S rDNA). According to sequence analysis, they were determined as Exiguobacterium aurantiacum (4), Exiguobacterium sibiricum (2), Bacillus sp. (2), Staphylococcus epidermidis (2), Staphylococcus haemolyticus (1), Shewanella baltica (1) and Klebsiella oxytoca (1), respectively. |
