Extensive bacterial growth was observed when copper sulfide ores were leached with 0.6 N sulfuric acid. The bacterial population developed in this condition was examined by characterization of the spacer regions between the 16S and 23S rRNA genetic loci obtained after PCR amplification of the DNA extracted from the leached ore. The spacers observed had the sizes found in strains of "Leptospirillum ferrooxidans" and Thiobacillus thiooxidans, except for a larger one, approximately 560 bp long, that was not observed in any of the strains examined, including those of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The bacteria with this last spacer were selected after culturing in mineral and elemental sulfur media containing 0.7 N sulfuric acid. The spacer and the 16S ribosomal DNA of this isolate were sequenced and compared with those in species commonly found in bioleaching processes. Though the nucleotide sequence of the spacer showed an extensive heterologous region with T. thiooxidans, the sequence of its 16S rDNA gene indicated a close relationship (99.85%) with this species. These results indicate that a population comprised of bacterial strains closely related to T. thiooxidans and of another strain, possibly related to "L. ferrooxidans," can develop during leaching at high sulfuric acid concentration. Iron oxidation in this condition is attributable to "L. ferrooxidans" and not T. ferrooxidans, based on the presence of spacers with the "L. ferrooxidans" size range and the absence of spacers characteristic of T. ferrooxidans.  相似文献

A range of autotrophic and heterotrophic enrichment cultures were established to determine the cultural bacterial diversity present in samples obtained from the acidic runoff of a chalcocite overburden heap and from laboratory-scale (1- to 4-liter) batch and continuous bioreactors which were being used for the commercial assessment of the bioleachability of zinc sulfide ore concentrates. Strains identified as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus thiooxidans, "Leptospirillum ferrooxidans," and Acidiphilium cryptum were isolated from both the natural site and the batch bioreactor, but only "L. ferrooxidans," a moderately thermophilic strain of T. thiooxidans, and a moderately thermophilic iron-oxidizing bacterium could be recovered from the continuous bioreactor running under steady-state conditions. Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes of 33 representative strains revealed that all of the strains were closely related to strains which have been sequenced previously and also confirmed the phylogenetic diversity of bacteria present in bioleaching environments.  相似文献

Most copper bioleaching plants operate with a high concentration of sulfate salts caused by the continuous addition of sulfuric acid and the recycling of the leaching solution. Since the bacteria involved in bioleaching have been generally isolated at low sulfate concentrations, the bacterial population in ores leached with the high-sulfate solution (1.25 M) employed in a copper production plant was investigated. The complexity of the original population was assessed by the length pattern of the spacer regions between the 16S and 23S rRNA genes, observed after PCR amplification of the DNA extracted from the leached ore. Six main spacers were distinguished by electrophoretic migration, but they could be further resolved into eight spacers by nucleotide sequence homology. The degree of homology was inferred from the electrophoretic migration of the heteroduplexes formed after hybridization. One of the spacers was indistinguishable from that found in Thiobacillus thiooxidans, four could be related to Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, and three could be related to Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. Only five of the spacers in the original sample could be recovered after culturing in media containing different inorganic energy source. Altogether, the results indicate that the bacteria in the leached ore formed a community composed of at least three species: a fairly homogeneous population of T. thiooxidans strains and two heterogeneous populations of T. ferrooxidans and L. ferrooxidans strains.  相似文献

AIMS: To understand the composition and structure of microbial communities in different acid mineral bioleaching systems, and to present a more complete picture of microbially mediated acid mine drainage production. METHODS AND RESULTS: In Tong Shankou Copper Mine, China, two samples (named K1 and K2) from two different sites with bioleaching were studied. A bacterial 16S rDNA library and an archaeal 16S rDNA library of the sample from each site were constructed by 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR), restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and sequencing. A total of 18 bacterial representative sequences and 12 archaeal representative sequences were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis indicated that 77.09% of the total bacterial clones were affiliated with Proteobacteria, and 21.22% of the total bacterial clones were closely related to Nitrospira. The rest of the bacterial clones were related to Firmicutes (1.68%). Sequences affiliated with the archaea of the Thermoplasma and Ferroplasma lineages were detected abundantly in the two samples. Unexpectedly, sequences affiliated with Sulfolobales and Methanothermus genera were also detected. CONCLUSIONS: The molecular studies appear to be consistent with the environmental conditions existing at the sites, which coincides with previous studies. High concentrations of some elements (such as copper, iron and sulfur) seemed to be the key factors resulting in the diverse distribution of typical iron-oxidizing bacteria such as Leptospirillum species and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Research on micro-organisms present in bioleaching systems especially archaea is not abundant. The acidophiles in the two bioleaching sites obtained from Tong Shankou Copper Mine, China, have not been reported until now. These results may expand our knowledge of the microbial diversity in the acid mineral bioleaching systems.  相似文献

Microbial oxidation of iron and sulfur are important steps in biogeochemical cycles in mining environments. The aim of this study was the enrichment and identification of two important groups of bacteria that are involved in bioleaching of copper ores. Some soil samples were collected from the Maiduk copper mine. Iron-oxidizing bacteria were enriched in 9K medium containing ferrous sulfate, and sulfur oxidizers were enriched in 9K medium containing powdered sulfur instead of ferrous sulfate as energy source. After three subcultures, autotrophic bacteria were isolated on 9K agarose medium with appropriate energy sources. The autotrophic bacteria from the enrichments were identified by amplification of 16S rRNA gene and sequencing. Bioleaching experiments were performed in 100 ml of 9K medium containing 5 g of low-grade copper ore instead of ferrous sulfate. Twelve different iron and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were isolated from the collected soil samples of Maiduk copper mine. Molecular identification indicated that two prevalent strains in the ore enrichments could be assigned to the Acidithiobacillus ferooxidans strain HGM and the Thiobacillus thioparus strain HGE. These two strains reached their logarithmic phase of growth after 8 days of incubation in their respective media at 30°C. Of these two cultures, strain HGM leached more copper ore (300 ppm) from the Maiduk copper ore than did strain HGE (200 ppm). Application of these two strains to the Maiduk copper ore in situ and to ore heaps should improve the leaching process.  相似文献

A molecular approach based on the construction of 16S ribosomal DNA clone libraries was used to investigate the microbial diversity of an underground in situ reactor system filled with the original aquifer sediments. After chemical steady state was reached in the monochlorobenzene concentration between the original inflowing groundwater and the reactor outflow, samples from different reactor locations and from inflowing and outflowing groundwater were taken for DNA extraction. Small-subunit rRNA genes were PCR-amplified with primers specific for Bacteria, subsequently cloned and screened for variation by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). A total of 87 bacterial 16S rDNA genes were sequenced and subjected to phylogenetic analysis. The original groundwater was found to be dominated by a bacterial consortium affiliated with various members of the class of Proteobacteria, by phylotypes not affiliated with currently recognized bacterial phyla, and also by sporulating and non-sporulating sulfate-reducing bacteria. The most occurring clone types obtained from the sediment samples of the reactor were related to the beta-Proteobacteria, dominated by sequences almost identical to the widespread bacterium Alcaligenes faecalis, to low G+C gram-positive bacteria and to Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (formerly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) within the gamma subclass of Proteobacteria in the upper reactor sector. Although bacterial phylotypes originating from the groundwater outflow of the reactors also grouped within different subdivisions of Proteobacteria and low G+C gram-positive bacteria, most of the 16S rDNA sequences were not associated with the sequence types observed in the reactor samples. Our results suggest that the different environments were inhabited by distinct microbial communities in respect to their taxonomic diversity, particular pronounced between sediment attached microbial communities from the reactor samples and free-living bacteria from the groundwater in- and outflow.  相似文献

Bioleaching of zinc sulfide concentrate by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The kinetics of the bioleaching of ZnS concentrate by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was studied in a well-mixed batch reactor. Experimental studies were made at 30 degrees C and pH 2.2 on adsorption of the bacteria to the mineral, ferric iron leaching, and bacterial leaching. The adsorption rate of the bacteria was fairly rapid in comparison with the bioleaching rate, indicating that the bacterial adsorption is at equilibrium during the leaching process. The adsorption equilibrium data were correlated by the Langmuir isotherm, which is a useful means for predicting the number of bacteria adsorbed on the mineral surface. The rate of chemical leaching varied with the concentration of ferric iron, and the first-order reaction rate constant was determined. Bioleaching in an iron-containing medium was found to take place by both direct bacterial attack on the sulfide mineral and indirect attack via ferric iron. In this case, the ferric iron was formed from the reaction product (ferrous iron) through the biological oxidation reaction. To develop rate expressions for the kinetics of bacterial growth and zinc leaching, the two bacterial actions were considered. The key parameters appearing in the rate equations, the growth yield and specific growth rate of adsorbed bacteria, were evaluated by curve fitting using the experimental data. This kinetic model allowed us to predict the liquid-phase concentrations of the leached zinc and free cells during the batch bioleaching process.  相似文献

The characteristics of the bioleaching of realgar by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans BY-3 (A. ferrooxidans) were investigated in this work. We examined the effects of using ferrous iron and elemental sulfur as the sole and mixed energy sources on the bioleaching of realgar. Under all experimental conditions, A. ferrooxidans BY-3 significantly enhanced the dissolution of realgar. Moreover, arsenic was more efficiently leached using A. ferrooxidans BY-3 in the presence of ferrous iron than in other culture conditions. A high concentration of arsenic was observed in the absence of alternative energy sources. This concentration was higher than that in cultures with sulfur only and lower than that in cultures with ferrous iron and sulfur. Linear or nonlinear models best fit the experimental data; the nonlinear model exhibited the dual effects of dissolution and removal on the bioleaching of realgar, whereas the linear model only applied to situations of slow bioleaching rather than removal.  相似文献

【目的】研究Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans BY-3对雄黄表面改性作用,为进一步研究雄黄的生物炮制技术提供实验基础与理论依据。【方法】在4组生物浸出体系中(每组包含100 mL无亚铁离子的9K培养基和0.500 g雄黄):第1组无添加;第2组添加4.469 g硫酸亚铁;第3组添加0.100 g硫粉;第4组加入4.469 g硫酸亚铁和0.100 g硫粉。在上述4组中使用A.ferrooxidans BY-3对雄黄进行生物浸出。浸出前后雄黄表面形貌及元素变化,使用扫描电镜(SEM)与能谱仪(EDS)、X-射线衍射(XRD)、拉曼光谱(Raman)、电感耦合等离子体原子发射光谱仪(ICP-AES)进行分析。【结果】4组浸出体系均发现A.ferrooxidans BY-3粘附于雄黄表面以此来产生直接作用。含Fe2+的浸出体系中雄黄表面产生非常明显的变化,含硫的浸出体系中雄黄表面变化不明显;只有Fe2+存在的浸出体系中As/S比率增高,而其余3组浸出体系中As/S比率均明显下降;另外,改性雄黄的表面存在黄钾铁矾、硫、赤铁矿、针铁矿和磁铁矿等,但未检测到砷华(As2O3)与副雄黄(Pararealgar)。【结论】A.ferrooxidans对雄黄改性具有重要作用。Fe2+对雄黄的改性具有促进作用,而硫对雄黄的改性具有抑制作用。雄黄改性前后的物化分析结果证实了生物浸出技术可有效解决传统方法制备雄黄及贮存过程中氧化和光化问题。  相似文献

Presence of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans plays significant role in ferric sulphate generation during bioleaching process. Thus, an attempt was made to select L. ferrooxidans from the polymetallic concentrate leachate and further developed it for enhanced ferric iron regeneration from the leachate in shake flask, stirred tank and column reactor. When ferric to ferrous iron ratio in the shake flask reached to 20:1, L. ferrooxidans out competed Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and accounted for more than 99% of the total population. The isolate was confirmed by 16S rRNA genes sequence analysis and named as L. ferrooxidans SRPCBL. When the culture was exposure to UV dose and the oxidation-reduction potential of the inoculation medium was adjusted to 40 0mV by ferrous:ferric iron ratio, the IOR reached to as high as 1.2 g/L/h in shake flask, even with initial ferrous iron concentration of 200 g/L. The chalcopyrite concentrate leachate containing 12.8, 15.7, and 42.0 g/L ferrous iron, ferric iron and copper, respectively was studied for ferric iron regeneration with the developed polymetallic resistant L. ferrooxidans SRPCBL in stirred tank and a developed biofilm airlift column, the highest IOR achieved were 2.20 g/L/h and 3.1 g/L/h, respectively, with ferrous oxidation efficiency of 98%. The ferric regeneration ability of the developed isolate from the leachate proves useful for a two-stage metal extraction process.  相似文献

5S rRNA nucleotide sequences from Thiobacillus neapolitanus, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus intermedius, Thiobacillus perometabolis, Thiobacillus thioparus, Thiobacillus versutus, Thiobacillus novellus, Thiobacillus acidophilus, Thiomicrospira pelophila, Thiomicrospira sp. strain L-12, and Acidiphilium cryptum were determined. A phylogenetic tree, based upon comparison of these and other related 5S rRNA sequences, is presented. The results place the thiobacilli, Thiomicrospira spp., and Acidiphilium spp. in the "purple photosynthetic" bacterial grouping which also includes the enteric, vibrio, pseudomonad, and other familiar eubacterial groups in addition to the purple photosynthetic bacteria. The genus Thiobacillus is not an evolutionarily coherent grouping but rather spans the full breadth of the purple photosynthetic bacteria.  相似文献

Bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron at low temperatures   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
This study comprises the first report of ferrous iron oxidation by psychrotolerant, acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria capable of growing at 5 degrees C. Samples of mine drainage-impacted surface soils and sediments from the Norilsk mining region (Taimyr, Siberia) and Kristineberg (Skellefte district, Sweden) were inoculated into acidic ferrous sulfate media and incubated at 5 degrees C. Iron oxidation was preceded by an approximately 3-month lag period that was reduced in subsequent cultures. Three enrichment cultures were chosen for further work and one culture designated as isolate SS3 was purified by colony isolation from a Norilsk enrichment culture for determining the kinetics of iron oxidation. The 16S rRNA based phylogeny of SS3 and two other psychrotolerant cultures, SS5 from Norilsk and SK5 from Northern Sweden, was determined. Comparative analysis of amplified 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that the psychrotolerant cultures aligned within Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The rate constant of iron oxidation by growing cultures of SS3 was in the range of 0.0162-0.0104 h(-1) depending on the initial pH. The oxidation kinetics followed an exponential pattern, consistent with a first order rate expression. Parallel iron oxidation by a mesophilic reference culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was extremely slow and linear. Precipitates harvested from the 5 degrees C culture were identified by X-ray diffraction as mixtures of schwertmannite (ideal formula Fe(8)O(8)(OH)(6)SO(4)) and jarosite (KFe(3)(SO(4))(2)(OH)(6)). Jarosite was much more dominant in precipitates produced at 30 degrees C.  相似文献

Benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate at low concentrations (5 to 10 mg/liter) each effectively inhibited bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron in batch cultures of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The rate of chemical oxidation of ferrous iron in low-pH, sterile batch reactors was not substantially affected at the tested concentrations (5 to 50 mg/liter) of any of the compounds.  相似文献

It is generally accepted that iron‐oxidizing bacteria, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, enhance chalcopyrite leaching. However, this article details a case of the bacteria suppressing chalcopyrite leaching. Bacterial leaching experiments were performed with sulfuric acid solutions containing 0 or 0.04 mol/dm3 ferrous sulfate. Without ferrous sulfate, the bacteria enhance copper extraction and oxidation of ferrous ions released from chalcopyrite. However, the bacteria suppressed chalcopyrite leaching when ferrous sulfate was added. This is mainly due to the bacterial consumption of ferrous ions which act as a promoter for chalcopyrite oxidation with dissolved oxygen. Coprecipitation of copper ions with jarosite formed by the bacterial ferrous oxidation also causes the bacterial suppression of copper extraction. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An important microorganism of acid mine drainage (AMD) and bioleaching environments is Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans which oxidizes ferrous iron and generates ferric iron, an oxidant. Most investigations to understand microbial aspects of sulfide mineral dissolution have focused on understanding physiological, metabolic, and genetic characteristics of A. ferrooxidans. In this study, a 16S rRNA oligonucleotide probe designated S-S-T.ferr-0584-a-A-18, and labeled at the 5'-end with indocarbocyanine dye (CY3), was used in a fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) procedure on pure cultures of nine isolates of A. ferrooxidans. These isolates were recovered from acid mine drainage and mining environments. The probe was also used to detect cells of A. ferrooxidans, recovered from AMD samples, growing on FeTSB and FeSo solid media in a FISH procedure. In addition, the presence of cells of A. ferrooxidans in an environmental water sample from an AMD site in Copper Cliff, Ontario, Canada was analyzed using the FISH technique. Probe specificity was first confirmed with A. ferrooxidans ATCC 19859 (positive control) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans ATCC 19377, Acidiphilium acidophilum ATCC 27807, and Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 (negative controls). Positive and negative control cells were also used to determine optimal stringency conditions for hybridizations with the probe. Cells of the nine isolates of A. ferrooxidans stained positive, although the fluorescent signal varied in intensity from isolate to isolate. Colonies of A. ferrooxidans from the environmental water sample of the AMD site were recovered only on FeTSB solid medium after 22 days of incubation. The probe was able to detect cells of A. ferrooxidans in a FISH procedure. However, no cells of A. ferrooxidans were detected in the AMD water sample without cultivation. Thus, probe S-S-T.ferr-0584-a-A-18 hybridized effectively with cells of A. ferrooxidans recovered from pure cultures but failed to directly detect cells of A. ferrooxidans in the AMD site.  相似文献

【目的】了解嗜酸异养菌在诸如酸性矿坑水(AMD)和生物浸出体系等极端酸性环境中对浸矿微生物产生的影响。【方法】研究由嗜酸异养菌Acidiphilium acidophilum和自养菌Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans经长期驯化后形成的共培养体系分别在Cd2+、Cu2+、Ni2+和Mg2+胁迫下的稳定性;并将此共培养体系应用于黄铁矿和低品位黄铜矿的生物浸出实验。【结果】在上述4种金属离子分别存在的条件下,异养菌Aph.acidophilum均能促进At.ferrooxidans对亚铁的氧化,提高其对能源利用的效率。共培养体系中的异养菌Aph.acidophilum使At.ferrooxidans对Cu2+的最大耐受浓度(MTC)由2.0 g/L提高到5.0 g/L,而且共培养的细胞数量与2.0 g/L Cu2+条件下生长的At.ferrooxidans纯培养相似。另外,共培养中的At.ferrooxidans对Mg2+的MTC也由12.0 g/L提高到17.0 g/L。生物浸出实验中嗜酸异养菌Aph.acidophilum促进了At.ferrooxidans对黄铁矿样品的浸出,浸出率较其纯培养提高了22.7%;但在含铁量较低的低品位黄铜矿浸出体系中共培养和At.ferrooxidans纯培养的浸出率均低于33%。在加入2.0 g/L Fe2+的低品位黄铜矿浸出体系中,共培养和At.ferrooxidans纯培养的浸出率均得到提高,分别达到52.22%和41.27%。【结论】以上结果表明,Aph.acidophilum与At.ferrooxidans共培养在一定的环境胁迫下仍能保持其稳定性并完成各自的生态功能,并且嗜酸异养菌Aph.acidophilum适合在含铁量较高的浸出体系中与铁氧化细菌共同作用来提高生物浸出的效率。  相似文献

From several presumably pure cultures of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, we isolated a pair of stable phenotypes. One was a strict autotroph utilizing sulfur or ferrous iron as the energy source and unable to utilize glucose; the other phenotype was an acidophilic obligate heterotroph capable of utilizing glucose but not sulfur or ferrous iron. The acidophilic obligate heterotroph not only was encountered in cultures of T. ferrooxidans, but also was isolated with glucose-mineral salts medium, pH 2.0, directly from coal refuse. By means of deoxyribonucleic acid homology, we have demonstrated that the acidophilic heterotrophs are of a different genotype from T. ferrooxidans, not closely related to this species; we have shown also that the acidophilic obligate heterotrophs, regardless of their source of isolation, are related to each other. Therefore, cultures of T. ferrooxidans reported capable of utilizing organic compounds should be carefully examined for contamination. The acidophilic heterotrophs isolated by us are different from T. acidophilis, which is also associated with T. ferrooxidans but is facultative, utilizing both glucose and elemental sulfur as energy sources. Since they are so common and tenacious in T. ferrooxidans cultures, the heterotrophs must be associated with T. ferrooxidans in the natural habitat.  相似文献

Abstract: Phosphate ion is an essential nutrient for all cells. Consequently, starvation for this component may constitute a stressing condition which affects the bioleaching capacity of the biomining microorganisms. Therefore, we have studied the manner in which the chemolithotroph Thiobacillus ferrooxidans responds to phosphate limitation. Under these circumstances the bacteria reduced its growth rate, capacity to oxidize ferrous iron and to fix CO,. Concomitant with these changes, the cells showed an increased synthesis of several proteins, some of which were exclusively synthesized during phosphate starvation. When intact cells grown in the absence of phosphate were labelled with 125I, several proteins were iodinated in addition of those observed in control cells, suggesting that the lack of phosphate induces some proteins located in the membranes or the periplasmic space of the bacteria. It is expected that by measuring the levels of expression of some of the proteins induced by the shortage of phosphorus, it might be possible to estimate in situ the relative physiological condition of the bacteria in a given bioleaching operation.  相似文献

Activities of enzymes which mediate the oxidation of thiosulfate to sulfate and the assimilation of sulfate to sulfide were assayed in various cell-free fractions of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans grown autotrophically on either ferrous iron or thiosulfate or heterotrophically on glucose. There was no activity of the thiosulfate-oxidizing enzyme in extracts of bacteria grown with ferrous iron. Comparable activities for ATP-sulfurylase (EC 2.7.7.4), ADP-sulfurylase (EC 2.7.7.5), and adenylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.3) were found in the bacteria grown autotrophically with either Fe2+ or S2O32- or heterotrophically with glucose.  相似文献
