从中国的多个铜矿取样,在45°C条件下富集获得了一种高效的中等嗜热浸矿富集物,探讨了该富集物在柱式反应器中浸出低品位黄铜矿的pH变化以及与Cu2+浸出的关系,并采用限制性片段长度多态性(RFLP)技术分析了微生物的群落结构和种群动态变化规律。结果表明在整个浸出过程中pH变化较为明显,且一直在1.8以上,60 d内回收了13.6%的铜。RFLP结果表明:在初期,嗜铁钩端螺旋菌(Leptospirillum ferriphilum)在浸出前期占有很高比例(81%),随后逐渐降低,至后期只有13%,而耐温氧化硫化杆菌(Sulfobacillus thermotolerans)和喜温硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus caldus)的比例逐渐升高,在中期分别达到32%和23%;至末期,耐温氧化硫化杆菌达到了79%,成为优势种群。研究加深了对中等嗜热微生物浸矿特性的了解,也为中等嗜热菌处理低品位黄铜矿的工业应用提供了可供借鉴的数据。 相似文献

生物淋滤法(Bioleaching)是指利用自然界中一些微生物(硫细菌)的直接作用或其代谢产物的间接作用,产生氧化、还原、络合、吸附或溶解反应,将固相中某些不溶性成分(如重金属、硫及其他金属)分离浸提出来的技术.在生物淋滤中,嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,A.f)和嗜酸性氧化硫硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans,A.f)被用作有效的淋滤载体[1].这种嗜酸性的化能自养型细菌以大气中的CO2为碳源,以无机物铁或硫为能源来维持生长,不需要提供外来的碳源和电子供体.另外,由于pH值很低,抑制了其他细菌的生长,所以在实际的操作过程中不需要严格的无菌条件.氧化亚铁硫杆菌和氧化硫硫杆菌去除重金属适宜于污水处理厂的开放系统,采用土著嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌(A.f)和氧化硫硫杆菌(A.f)进行重金属去除.也就是说,处理什么地方的污泥,就在什么地方分离A.f和A.t,这样分离的微生物在生物淋滤过程中能发挥较好的作用.这也是微生物在自然界生长繁殖的特点之一.
本期介绍了王聪、宋存江等[2]从剩余活性污泥中分离得到两株土著硫杆菌,对两株菌进行了分类鉴定,确定二者分别为嗜酸性氧化亚铁硫杆菌杆(Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,A.f)和嗜酸性氧化硫硫杆菌(Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans,A.t),将二者的单菌和混合菌分别接种于剩余活性污泥中,进行了为期9 d的生物淋滤,对淋滤过程中的pH变化、氧化还原电位(ORP)以及重金属含量进行了检测.结果表明,生物淋滤9 d的混合菌对于As、Cr、Cu、Ni和Zn的去除效果最好,去除率分别达到了96.09%、93.47%、98.32%、97.88%和98.60%.混合菌生物淋滤对于Cd和Pb的去除率在第6天之后迅速下降,但是A.t单菌淋滤保持较高的去除率,此结果为进一步的应用打下了良好的基础. 相似文献

Aims: To isolate Ferroplasma thermophilum L1T from a low pH environment and to understand its role in bioleaching of chalcopyrite.
Methods and Results: Using serial dilution method, a moderately thermophilic and acidophilic ferrous iron-oxidizing archaeon, named L1T , was isolated from a chalcopyrite-leaching bioreactor. The morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics of strain L1T and its role in bioleaching of chalcopyrite were studied. Strain L1T was a nonmotile coccus that lacked cell wall. Strain L1T had a temperature optimum of 45°C and the optimum pH for growth was 1·0. Strain L1T was capable of chemomixotrophic growth on ferrous iron and yeast extract. Results of fatty acid analysis, DNA–DNA hybridization, G+C content, and analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that strain L1T should be grouped in the genus Ferroplasma , and represented a new species, Ferroplasma thermophilum . Ferroplasma thermophilum in combination with Acidithiobacillus caldus and Leptospirillum ferriphilum could improve the copper dissolution in bioleaching of chalcopyrite.
Conclusions: A novel extremely acidophilic, moderately thermophilic archaeon isolated from a bioleaching reactor has been identified as F. thermophilum that played an important role in bioleaching of chalcopyrite at low pH.
Significance and Impact of the Study: This study contributes to understand the characteristics of F. thermophilum L1T and its role in bioleaching of sulfide ores. 相似文献

为了优化浸出工艺,研究了pH对浸矿过程主要微生物种群结构的影响。用中度嗜热混合菌槽浸黄铜矿精矿,在不控制pH,控制pH为2.5及控制pH为1.2时,应用PCR-RFLP(限制性酶切片段长度多态性)方法对上述浸出条件下的细菌群落动态变化进行研究。结果表明,浸出体系只有两种微生物,一种为Acidithiobacillus Caldus,一种为Leptospirillum ferriphilum。pH对群落结构有明显影响。不控制pH时,浸出开始阶段At.caldus是优势种群,占群落的96%,随着浸出的进行,L.ferriphilum增多,在浸出后期代替At.caldus成为优势菌种,占69%。控制pH时,L.ferriphilum始终占主导地位,同时发现pH为2.5时At.caldus在群落中的丰度比pH为1.2时高。 相似文献

A moderately thermophilic and acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium named S2, was isolated from coal heap drainage. The bacterium was motile, Gram-negative, rod-shaped, measured 0.4 to 0.6 by 1 to 2 μm,
and grew optimally at 42–45°C and an initial pH of 2.5. The strain S2 grew autotrophically by using elemental sulfur, sodium thiosulfate and potassium tetrathionate as energy sources. The strain
did not use organic matter and inorganic minerals including ferrous sulfate, pyrite and chalcopyrite as energy sources. The
morphological, biochemical, physiological characterization and analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequence indicated that the
strain S2 is most closely related to Acidithiobacillus caldus (>99% similarity in gene sequence). The combination of the strain S2 with Leptospirillum ferriphilum or Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in chalcopyrite bioleaching improved the copper-leaching efficiency. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis revealed
that the chalcopyrite surface in a mixed culture of Leptospirillum ferriphilum and Acidithiobacillus caldus was heavily etched. The energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis indicated that Acidithiobacillus caldus has the potential role to enhance the recovery of copper from chalcopyrite by oxidizing the sulfur formed during the bioleaching
progress. 相似文献

This study presents a design for a novel bioreactor that uses alternating vacuum and positive pressure cycles to transfer acidic leach solution in and out of contact with finely ground sulfidic mine tailings. These tailings constitute an environmental problem that needs experimental data to support the development of management and control strategies. A conventional stirred tank bioreactor was used as a reference system. Both bioreactors were inoculated with mixed cultures of acidophilic iron and sulfur oxidizers. The rate of the bioleaching of tailings was 0.50 +/- 0.14 g Fe/L . day in the stirred tank bioreactor and 0.17 +/- 0.05 g Fe/L . day in the novel bioreactor. Microbial populations were identified in the two-bioreactor systems by analysis of 16S rRNA genes involving amplification, denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE), cloning, and sequencing. The inoculum contained sulfur-oxidizing Acidithiobacillus caldus and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, iron oxidizers from the genera Leptospirillum and Ferroplasma, and a chemoorganotrophic Alicyclobacillus sp. During bioleaching of the tailings, the microbial populations in both bioreactors were similar to the inoculum culture, except that At. thiooxidans outgrew At. caldus. Sequences consistent with a Sulfobacillus sp. were amplified from both bioreactor samples although this bacterium was initially below the level of detection in the inoculum. After prolonged operation, Ferroplasma acidiphilum and an uncultured bacterium related to the CFB group were also detected in the novel bioreactor, whereas Sulfobacillus sp. was no longer detected. The novel bioreactor has potential uses in other areas of environmental biotechnology that involves periodic contact of liquids with solid substrates. 相似文献

Analysis of Community Composition during Moderately Thermophilic Bioleaching of Pyrite,Arsenical Pyrite,and Chalcopyrite. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
An analysis of the community composition of three previously undefined mixed cultures of moderately thermophilic bioleaching bacteria grown at 45°C on pyrite, arsenical pyrite, and chalcopyrite has been carried out. The bacterial species present were identified by comparative sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA gene isolated from the bioleaching vessels and analyzed by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis, cloning, and sequencing. The mixed cultures leached all three minerals, as shown by the increase in iron released from the mineral concentrates. The species identified from the mixed cultures during bioleaching of pyrite, arsenical pyrite, and chalcopyrite were clones closely related to Acidithiobacillus caldus C-SH12, Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans AT-1, Sulfobacillus montserratensis L15, and an uncultured thermal soil bacterium YNP. It was also found that the same mixed culture maintained for over a year on chalcopyrite mineral selected approximately the same consortia of bacteria as the original mixed culture grown on chalcopyrite. 相似文献

The oxidative dissolution of pyrite (FeS2) by pure and mixed cultures of moderately thermophilic acidophiles was studied in shake flask cultures and in pH-controlled bioreactors, incubated at 45 degrees C. Various combinations of seven eubacteria (a Leptospirillum sp. (MT6), Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus caldus, an Alicyclobacillus sp. (Y004), and three Sulfobacillus spp.) and one archaeon (Ferroplasma sp. MT17) were examined. Pyrite dissolution was determined by measuring changes in soluble iron and generation of acidity, and microbial populations were monitored using a combined culture-dependent (plate counts) and culture-independent (fluorescent in situ hybridization) approach. In pure cultures, the most efficient pyrite-oxidizing acidophile was Leptospirillum MT6, which was unique among the prokaryotes used in being obligately autotrophic. Mixed cultures of Leptospirillum MT6 and the sulfur-oxidizer At. caldus generated more acidity than pure cultures of the iron-oxidizer, though this did not necessarily enhance pyrite dissolution. In contrast, a mixed culture of Leptospirillum MT6 and the obligate heterotroph Alicyclobacillus Y004 oxidized pyrite more rapidly and more completely than a pure culture of Leptospirillum MT6, in synchronized bioreactors. Although the autotroph, At. caldus, and the "heterotrophically inclined" iron-oxidizer, Am. ferrooxidans, were both ineffective at leaching pyrite in pure culture, a mixed culture of the two bacteria was able to accelerate dissolution of the mineral. Concentrations of dissolved organic carbon accumulated to >100 mg/L in some mixed cultures, and the most effective bioleaching systems were found to be consortia containing both autotrophic and heterotrophic moderate thermophiles. A mixed culture comprising the autotrophs Leptospirillum MT6 and At. caldus, and the heterotroph Ferroplasma MT17, was the most efficient of all of those examined. Mutualistic interactions between physiologically distinct moderately thermophilic acidophiles, involving transfer of organic and inorganic carbon and transformations of iron and sulfur, were considered to have critical roles in optimizing pyrite dissolution. 相似文献

In order to better understand the bioleaching mechanism, expression of genes involved in energy conservation and community structure of free and attached acidophilic bacteria in chalcopyrite bioleaching were investigated. Using quantitative real-time PCR, we studied the expression of genes involved in energy conservation in free and attached Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans during bioleaching of chalcopyrite. Sulfur oxidation genes of attached A. ferrooxidans were up-regulated while ferrous iron oxidation genes were down-regulated compared with free A. ferrooxidans in the solution. The up-regulation may be induced by elemental sulfur on the mineral surface. This conclusion was supported by the results of HPLC analysis. Sulfur-oxidizing Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and ferrous-oxidizing Leptospirillum ferrooxidans were the members of the mixed culture in chalcopyrite bioleaching. Study of the community structure of free and attached bacteria showed that A. thiooxidans dominated the attached bacteria while L. ferrooxidans dominated the free bacteria. With respect to available energy sources during bioleaching of chalcopyrite, sulfur-oxidizers tend to be on the mineral surfaces whereas ferrous iron-oxidizers tend to be suspended in the aqueous phase. Taken together, these results indicate that the main role of attached acidophilic bacteria was to oxidize elemental sulfur and dissolution of chalcopyrite involved chiefly an indirect bioleaching mechanism. 相似文献

A combination of cultivation-based and molecular-based approaches was used to reveal the culturable and molecular diversity of the microbes inhabiting an open-dumped Pb/Zn mine tailings that was undergoing intensive acid generation (pH 1.9). Culturable bacteria found in the extremely acidic mine tailings were Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Leptospirillum ferriphilum, Sulfobacillus thermotolerans and Acidiphilium cryptum, where the number of acidophilic heterotrophs was ten times higher than that of the iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria. Cloning and phylogenetic analysis revealed that, in contrast to the adjacent AMD, the mine tailings possessed a low microbial diversity with archaeal sequence types dominating the 16S rRNA gene library. Of the 141 clones examined, 132 were represented by two sequence types phylogenetically affiliated with the iron-oxidizing archaea Ferroplasma acidiphilum and three belonged to two tentative groups within the Thermoplasma lineage so far represented by only a few environmental sequences. Six clones in the library were represented by the only bacterial sequence type and were closely related to the well-described iron-oxidizer L. ferriphilum. The significant differences in the prokaryotic community structures of the extremely acidic mine tailings and the AMD associated with it highlights the importance of studying the microbial communities that are more directly involved in the iron and sulfur cycles of mine tailings. 相似文献

While indirect model has been widely accepted in bioleaching, but the evidence of cell surface iron speciation has not been reported. In the present work the iron speciation on the cell surfaces of four typically acidophilic iron-oxidizing microorganism (mesophilic Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270, moderately thermophilic Leptospirillum ferriphilum YSK and Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans St, and extremely thermophilic Acidianus manzaensis YN25) grown on different energy substrates (chalcopyrite, pyrite, ferrous sulfate and elemental sulfur (S0)) were studied in situ firstly by using synchrotron-based micro- X-ray fluorescence analysis and X-ray absorption near-edge structure spectroscopy. Results showed that the cells grown on iron-containing substrates had apparently higher surface iron content than the cells grown on S0. Both ferrous iron and ferric iron were detected on the cell surface of all tested AIOMs, and the Fe(II)/Fe(III) ratios of the same microorganism were affected by different energy substrates. The iron distribution and bonding state of single cell of A. manzaensis were then studied in situ by scanning transmission soft X-ray microscopy based on dual-energy contrast analysis and stack analysis. Results showed that the iron species distributed evenly on the cell surface and bonded with amino, carboxyl and hydroxyl groups. 相似文献
