Thermophilic Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria Found in Copper Leaching Dumps
AUTOR(ES)
Brierley, James A.
RESUMO
Rod-shaped bacteria capable of oxidizing ferrous iron at 55°C were cultured from samples of a copper mine leach dump. Yeast extract or cysteine was required by these Thiobacillus-like bacteria for growth, using ferrous iron as an energy source.
